  11 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
  12 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
  13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
  14 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
  15 #
  16 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source
  17 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
  18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
  19 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
  20 # of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
  21 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
  22 #
  23 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
  24 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
  25 # http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
  26 #
  27 # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
  28 # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
  29 # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
  30 #       I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
  31 #       _daylight-saving time_.  _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
  32 #       in Europe and South America.
  33 #       -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in
  34 #       H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
  35 #
  36 # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
  37 # for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
  38 # "summer time".  Reinaldo Goulart, a São Paulo businessman active in
  39 # the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
  40 #       The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
  41 #       Brazil.  Let's say that "the Brasília time" is considered the
  42 #       "official time" because Brasília is the capital city.
  43 #       The other three time zones are called "Brasília time "minus one" or
  44 #       "plus one" or "plus two".  As far as I know there is no such
  45 #       name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".
  46 # So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now.
  47 # Corrections are welcome!

 368 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
 369 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
 370 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
 371 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
 372 #
 373 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
 374 #
 375 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
 376 # Sunday of October and March.
 377 #
 378 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
 379 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
 380 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
 381 #
 382 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
 383 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
 384 #
 385 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
 386 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
 387 #
 388 # I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
 389 # timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
 390 # right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
 391 # is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
 392 # of the country calls it "ART".

 396 # According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
 397 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time

 405 
 406 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
 407 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
 408 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
 409 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
 410 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
 411 
 412 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
 413 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
 414 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
 415 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,
 416 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
 417 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
 418 # standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
 419 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
 420 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
 421 # setting for time stamps past 2038.

 615 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
 616 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
 617 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
 618 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
 619 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
 620 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.

1097 # From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1098 # Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1099 # 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1100 # was the same offset as in 1916-1919.  It also says Pacific/Easter
1101 # standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1102 #
1103 # Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1104 # the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):

1234 # The decree says transitions occur at 24:00; in practice this appears
1235 # to mean 24:00 mainland time, not 24:00 local time, so that Easter

  19 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
  20 # of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
  21 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
  22 #
  23 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
  24 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.

  27 # These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
  28 # integer hour and minute UTC offsets.  Although earlier editions used
  29 # alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
  30 # invented and did not reflect common practice.

  40 # Double Summer time from 1969 to 1974.  Switches at midnight.

 346 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
 347 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
 348 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
 349 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
 350 #
 351 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
 352 #
 353 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
 354 # Sunday of October and March.
 355 #
 356 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
 357 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
 358 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
 359 #
 360 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
 361 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
 362 #
 363 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
 364 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...

 366 
 367 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
 368 # According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
 369 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
 370 # after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
 371 # Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

 377 
 378 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
 379 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
 380 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
 381 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
 382 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
 383 
 384 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
 385 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
 386 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
 387 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,
 388 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
 389 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
 390 # standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
 391 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
 392 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
 393 # setting for time stamps past 2038.
 394 
 395 # From Paul Eggert (2013-02-21):
 396 # Milne says Córdoba time was -4:16:48.2.  Round to the nearest second.

 587 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
 588 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
 589 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
 590 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
 591 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
 592 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.

1069 # From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1070 # Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1071 # 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1072 # was the same offset as in 1916-1919.  It also says Pacific/Easter
1073 # standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1074 #
1075 # Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1076 # the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):

1199 # http://www.leychile.cl/Navegar?idNorma=1088502
1200 # It does consider the second Saturday of May and August as the dates
1201 # for the transition; and it lists DST dates until 2019, but I think
1202 # this scheme will stick.
1203 #
1204 # From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18):
1205 # For now, assume the pattern holds for the indefinite future.
1206 # The decree says transitions occur at 24:00; in practice this appears
1207 # to mean 24:00 mainland time, not 24:00 local time, so that Easter
1208 # Island is always two hours behind the mainland.
