8147 Update zoneinfo to 2017b


 161 # From Arthur David Olson, 2005-12-19
 162 # We generate the files specified below to guard against old files with
 163 # obsolete information being left in the time zone binary directory.
 164 # We limit the list to names that have appeared in previous versions of
 165 # this time zone package.
 166 # We do these as separate Zones rather than as Links to avoid problems if
 167 # a particular place changes whether it observes DST.
 168 # We put these specifications here in the northamerica file both to
 169 # increase the chances that they'll actually get compiled and to
 170 # avoid the need to duplicate the US rules in another file.

 182 # ...Alaska (and Hawaii) had the timezone names changed in 1967.

 189 # ...Alaska's timezone lines were redrawn in 1983 to give only 2 tz.
 190 #    The YST zone now covers nearly all of the state, AHST just part

 193 # From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
 194 # The tables below use 'NST', not 'NT', for Nome Standard Time.

 305 # Roberts, city administrator in Phenix City. as saying "We are in the Central
 306 # time zone, but we do go by the Eastern time zone because so many people work

 488 # Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
 489 # and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
 490 # This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
 491 # also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
 492 # ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
 493 # the Julian calendar.
 494 #
 495 # As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
 496 # permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
 497 # (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
 498 # was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
 499 # were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
 500 # it's best to simply use the official transition.
 501 
 502 # From Paul Eggert (2014-07-18):
 503 # One opinion of the early-1980s turmoil in Alaska over time zones and
 504 # daylight saving time appeared as graffiti on a Juneau airport wall:
 505 # "Welcome to Juneau.  Please turn your watch back to the 19th century."

 241 # Although the 1918 names were officially "United States Standard

 243 # and "Alaska", in practice "Standard" was placed just before "Time",
 244 # as codified in 1966.  In practice, Alaska time was abbreviated "AST"
 245 # before 1968.  Summarizing the 1967 name changes:

 496 # Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
 497 # and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
 498 # This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
 499 # also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
 500 # ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
 501 # the Julian calendar.
 502 #
 503 # As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
 504 # permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
 505 # (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
 506 # was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
 507 # were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps

1078 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
1079 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
1080 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
1081 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
1082 #
1083 # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
1084 # for time zone data was the International Air Transport
1085 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
1086 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
1087 # of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
1088 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
