# Links and zones for backward compatibility # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. # This file provides links from old or merged timezone names to current ones. # It also provides a few zone entries for old naming conventions. # Many names changed in 1993 and in 1995, and many merged names moved here # in the period from 2013 through 2022. Several of these names are # also present in the file 'backzone', which has data important only # for pre-1970 timestamps and so is out of scope for tzdb proper. # Although this file is optional and tzdb will work if you omit it by # building with 'make BACKWARD=', in practice downstream users # typically use this file for backward compatibility. # This file is divided into sections, one for each major reason for a # backward compatibility link. Each section is sorted by link name. # A "#= TARGET1" comment labels each link inserted only because some # .zi parsers (including tzcode through 2022e) mishandle links to links. # The comment says what the target would be if these parsers were fixed # so that data could contain links to links. For example, the line # "Link Australia/Sydney Australia/ACT #= Australia/Canberra" would be # "Link Australia/Canberra Australia/ACT" were it not that data lines # refrain from linking to links like Australia/Canberra, which means # the Australia/ACT line links instead to Australia/Sydney, # Australia/Canberra's target. # Pre-1993 naming conventions # Link TARGET LINK-NAME #= TARGET1 Link Australia/Sydney Australia/ACT #= Australia/Canberra Link Australia/Lord_Howe Australia/LHI Link Australia/Sydney Australia/NSW Link Australia/Darwin Australia/North Link Australia/Brisbane Australia/Queensland Link Australia/Adelaide Australia/South Link Australia/Hobart Australia/Tasmania Link Australia/Melbourne Australia/Victoria Link Australia/Perth Australia/West Link Australia/Broken_Hill Australia/Yancowinna Link America/Rio_Branco Brazil/Acre #= America/Porto_Acre Link America/Noronha Brazil/DeNoronha Link America/Sao_Paulo Brazil/East Link America/Manaus Brazil/West Link Europe/Brussels CET Link America/Chicago CST6CDT Link America/Halifax Canada/Atlantic Link America/Winnipeg Canada/Central # This line is commented out, as the name exceeded the 14-character limit # and was an unused misnomer. #Link America/Regina Canada/East-Saskatchewan Link America/Toronto Canada/Eastern Link America/Edmonton Canada/Mountain Link America/St_Johns Canada/Newfoundland Link America/Vancouver Canada/Pacific Link America/Regina Canada/Saskatchewan Link America/Whitehorse Canada/Yukon Link America/Santiago Chile/Continental Link Pacific/Easter Chile/EasterIsland Link America/Havana Cuba Link Europe/Athens EET Link America/Panama EST Link America/New_York EST5EDT Link Africa/Cairo Egypt Link Europe/Dublin Eire # Vanguard section, for most .zi parsers. #Link GMT Etc/GMT #Link GMT Etc/GMT+0 #Link GMT Etc/GMT-0 #Link GMT Etc/GMT0 #Link GMT Etc/Greenwich # Rearguard section, for TZUpdater 2.3.2 and earlier.
