tzcode: update to 2018c
PATCH 1/2 tzcode: update to 2018c
removed patches now included in update.
The 2018a through 2018c releases reflect the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes. This announcement has merged the set of changes made by the three releases, to make it easier to see the difference between 2017c and 2018c; please see the 2018c NEWS file for more details about intermediate versions.
Release 2018c - 2018-01-22 23:00:44 -0800
Release 2018b - 2018-01-17 23:24:48 -0800
Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

PATCH 2/2 tzdata: update to 2018c
The 2018c release of the tz code and data is available. It follows on the 2018a and 2018b releases, which were published but were not announced until now, due to problems discovered late in their release processes. 2018a had a build-failure typo, and 2018a and 2018b both had problems with ICU and Java, downstream packages which do not support a feature (negative DST offsets) used in 2018a and 2018b. The typo has been fixed, and data changes using negative DST offsets have been reverted pending development of a mechanism to export data to platforms lacking support for such data.
Briefly:
São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01. Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday. Use Debian-style installation locations, instead of 4.3BSD-style. New zic option -t.
Changes to past and future time stamps
São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Michael Deckers.)
Changes to future time stamps
Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's first Sunday instead of October's third Sunday. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes to past time stamps
Japanese DST transitions (1948-1951) were Sundays at 00:00, not Saturdays or Sundays at 02:00. (Thanks to Takayuki Nikai.)
A discrepancy of 4 s in timestamps before 1931 in South Sudan has been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time.
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
The build procedure now works around mawk 1.3.3's lack of support for character class expressions. (Problem reported by Ohyama.)
