Hi,
Now that I live in Chile I was checking the timezone data settings for Chile and noticed that they are wrong. The TZrules.dat file in the KStars sources contains this
#"CL": DST starts 2nd Sun in Oct, reverts 2nd Sun in Mar (4:00)
#(Chile)
CL Aug 2Sun 04:00 May 2Sun 03:00
The first line contains wrong info. Chile DST starts 1st Sunday in September and ends 1st Sunday of April at midnight. The third line doesn't make sense to me at all. What are the items supposed to mean? I suppose that CL means Chile, 2Sun the second Sunday and 04:00 and 03:00 the times at which the change takes place. But Aug and May? As a matter of fact all other entries in the file have those strange months as well.
Does anyone know why this is such? And also, how could I best request a change for the DST start and end dates and times for Chile? Is posting here enough or should I open an RFC somewhere else? If appreciated I could push the fix myself.
Wouter
