Description Bernhard Wiedemann 2011-02-18 17:58:55 UTC
Created attachment 415057 [details]
fix 3 Pacific entries

yast2 timezone does not display coordinates for some places:

Asia/Katmandu
Atlantic/Jan Mayen  (71.046389°, -8.230278°)
Europe/Vatican
Pacific/Chuuk
Pacific/Dili
Pacific/Pohnpei

I made a patch to fix at least the four Asia/Pacific entries
Pacific/Dili was a dup of Asia/Dili
Jan_Mayen is completely absent from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab
and Europe/Vatican should already work, but does not for unknown reasons


also entries around 180° like Pacific/Fiji are not displayed centered like everything else

Petr, could you check timezone package?

It is not shown in the map in YaST, because it could not be distinguished from Rome. Well, it could be done better...
Or did you mean anything different by 'not working'?
Comment 2 Jiří Suchomel 2011-02-22 09:32:06 UTC
OK, I found better way for Europe/Vatican and submitted your patch with new yast2-country package.

Now, Petr: could you update zone.tab?
Comment 3 Petr Baudis 2011-02-28 22:46:51 UTC
Just to be clear, the matter is just adding Jan_Mayen to zone.tab or is there anything else you'd like me to do?
Comment 4 Jiří Suchomel 2011-03-01 06:30:36 UTC
I think this is all.
Comment 5 Petr Baudis 2011-03-19 17:39:55 UTC
Looking at this again, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen is merely at Europe/Oslo - it has always followed the Oslo time (up to some confusion during the second world war). Therefore, it shouldn't normally be present to the user anyway.
