Re: Modified Unix Timezone Files for Israel (2000-2004)



Is there a problem with ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/israel/linux/zicfile?

[05:17:26 /tmp]$ wget ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/israel/linux/zicfile -q

Some of those differences are due to hard links. For example, Tel_Aviv and 
Jerusalem. But others are not: nor Anadyr nor Irkutsk are not hard links to 
anything in /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia.
I wonder if these differences are seen on Linux distros other then Debian. 
Are they significant? Why they are there in the first place?
