The Global Time Zone Database (global-tz) is a fork of the IANA Time
|
|
Zone Database with expanded best-effort historical data for some time
|
|
zones whose clocks have agreed with other time zones since 1970.
|
|
|
|
In an up to date default FreeBSD installation /usr/share/zoneinfo
|
|
contains the most recent IANA tzdb release as well as compatibility
|
|
links for time zones that existed in previous IANA tzdb releases (from
|
|
the "backward" file in the distribution). FreeBSD releases have never
|
|
included the out of scope pre-1970 historical data (from the "backzone"
|
|
file in the distribution). This is the same approach as taken by most
|
|
other open source projects that distribute the IANA Time Zone Database.
|
|
|
|
The global-tz fork was prompted by the controversial decision by the
|
|
maintainers of the IANA Time Zone Database to move time zones whose
|
|
clocks have not changed since 1970 to "backzone". While previous IANA
|
|
tzdb releases would return historical data for these zones if available,
|
|
recent IANA tzdb releases instead return available pre-1970 data for the
|
|
zones whose clocks they have agreed with since 1970 (the target of the
|
|
"backward" link).
|
|
|
|
The overwhelming majority of users are unlikely to be affected by this
|
|
decision. FreeBSD users who rely on pre-1970 time zone history may wish
|
|
to install this port.
|
|
|
|
This port overwrites system files in /usr/share/zoneinfo. If you build
|
|
your systems from source, add WITHOUT_ZONEINFO="yes" to /etc/src.conf.
|
|
If you use freebsd-update(8), add /usr/share/zoneinfo to IgnorePaths in
|
|
/etc/freebsd-update.conf.
