# Request POSIX conformance; this must be the first non-comment line.
.POSIX:
# By default, builds of code and data assume POSIX.1-2001 or later;
# this assumption can be relaxed by tailoring the build as described below.
# On older platforms you may need to scrounge for POSIX conformance.
# For example, on Solaris 10 (2005) with Sun Studio 12 aka Sun C 5.9 (2007),
# use 'PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin:$PATH make CC=c99'.
# Reproducible builds of distribution tarballs also need a copy of the
# Git repository, and assume the behavior of the following programs
# (or later versions):
# Git 2.7.0 (2016)
# GNU Coreutils 6.3 (2006)
# GNU Tar 1.14 (2004)
# GnuPG 1.4 (2004)
# Although tzdb does not come with a software bill of materials,
# you should be able to construct one based on the above information,
# your platform, and the way you use this Makefile.
# To affect how this Makefile works, you can run a shell script like this:
#
# #!/bin/sh
# make CC='gcc -std=gnu23' "$@"
# make CFLAGS='-O2 -DHAVE_GETTEXT=0' "$@"
#
# This example script is appropriate for a circa 2024 GNU/Linux system
# where a non-default setting enables this package's optional use of C23.
# This example script is appropriate for a GNU/Linux system
# which needs more optimization than default, and which does not want
# gettext's internationalization of diagnostics.
#
# Alternatively, you can simply edit this Makefile to tailor the following

News for the tz database
Release 2025c - 2025-12-10 14:42:37 -0800
Briefly:
Several code changes for compatibility with FreeBSD.
Changes to past timestamps
Baja California agreed with Californias DST rules in 1953 and in
1961 through 1975, instead of observing standard time all year.
(Thanks to Alois Treindl.)
Changes to build procedure
Files in distributed tarballs now have correct commit times.
Formerly, the committers time zone was incorrectly ignored.
Distribution products (*.asc, *.gz, and *.lz) now have
reproducible timestamps. Formerly, only the contents of the
compressed tarballs had reproducible timestamps.
By default, distributed formatted man pages (*.txt) now use UTF-8
and are left-adjusted more consistently. A new Makefile macro
MANFLAGS can override these defaults. (Thanks to G. Branden
Robinson for inspiring these changes.)
Changes to code
An unset TZ is no longer invalid when /etc/localtime is missing,
and is abbreviated "UTC" not "-00". This reverts to 2024b behavior.
(Problem and patch reported by Dag-Erling Smørgrav.)
New function offtime_r, short for fixed-offset localtime_rz.
It is defined if STD_INSPIRED is defined.
(Patch from Dag-Erling Smørgrav.)
tzset etc. are now more cautious about questionable TZ settings.
Privileged programs now reject TZ settings that start with '/',
unless they are TZDEFAULT (default "/etc/localtime") or
start with TZDIR then '/' (default "/usr/share/zoneinfo/").
Unprivileged programs now require files to be regular files
and reject relative names containing ".." directory components;
formerly, only privileged programs did those two things.
These changes were inspired by similar behavior in FreeBSD.
On NetBSD, unprivileged programs now use O_REGULAR to check
whether a TZ setting starting with '/' names a regular file,
avoiding a minor security race still present elsewhere.
TZ strings taken from tzalloc arguments are now treated with
no less caution than TZ strings taken from the environment, as
the old undocumented behavior would have been hard to explain.
tzset etc. no longer use the access system call to check access;
instead they now use the system calls issetugid, getauxval,
getresuid/getresgid, and geteuid/getegid/getuid/getgid (whichever
first works) to test whether a program is privileged.
Compile with -DHAVE_SYS_AUXV_H=[01] to enable or disable
<sys/auxv.h> which (if it defines AT_SECURE) enables getauxval,
and compile with -DHAVE_ISSETUGID=[01], -DHAVE_GETRESUID=[01], and
-DHAVE_GETEUID=[01] to enable or disable the other calls use.
The new CFLAGS option -DTZ_CHANGE_INTERVAL=N makes tzset etc.
check for TZif file changes if the in-memory data are N seconds
old or more, and are derived from the TZ environment variable.
This is intended for platforms that want tzset etc. to reflect
changes to whatever file TZ selects (including changes to
/etc/localtime if TZ is unset). If N is negative (the default)
these checks are omitted; this is the traditional behavior.
The new CFLAGS options -DHAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_CTIM=0 and
-DHAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC=0 port to non-POSIX.1-2008 platforms
that lack st_ctim and struct timespec, respectively.
tzset etc. now treat ' ' like '_' in time zone abbreviations,
just as they treat other invalid bytes. This continues the
transition begun in release 96k, which removed spaces in tzdata
because the spaces break time string parsers.
The new CFLAGS option -DTHREAD_PREFER_SINGLE causes tzcode
in single-threaded processes to avoid locks, as FreeBSD does.
This can save time in single-threaded apps. The threadedness
testing costs CPU time and energy in multi-threaded apps.
New options -DHAVE___ISTHREADED and -DHAVE_SYS_SINGLE_THREADED_H
can help configure how to test for single-threadedness.
The new CFLAGS option -DTHREAD_RWLOCK uses read-write locks, as
macOS does, instead of mutexes. This saves real time when TZ is
rarely changing and many threads call tzcode simultaneously.
It costs more CPU time and energy.
The new CFLAGS option -TTHREAD_TM_MULTI causes localtime to return
a pointer to thread-specific memory, as FreeBSD does, instead of
to the same memory in all threads. This supports unportable
programs that incorrectly use localtime instead of localtime_r.
This option affects gmtime and offtime similarly to localtime.
Because the corresponding storage is freed on thread exit, this
option is incompatible with POSIX.1-2024 and earlier. It also
costs CPU time and memory.
tzfree now preserves errno, consistently with POSIX.1-2024 free.
tzcode now uses mempcpy if available, guessing its availability.
Compile with -DHAVE_MEMPCPY=1 or 0 to override the guess.
tzcode now uses strnlen to improve asymptotic performance a bit.
Compile with -DHAVE_STRNLEN=0 if your platform lacks it.
tzcode now hand-declares unistd.h-provided symbols like getopt
if HAVE_UNISTD_H=0, not if HAVE_POSIX_DECLS=0.
tzset etc. now have an experimental OPENAT_TZDIR option;
see Makefile and localtime.c for details.
On platforms like GNU/Hurd that do not define PATH_MAX,
exceedingly long TZ strings no longer fail merely because they
exceed an arbitrary file name length limit imposed by tzcode.
zic has new options inspired by FreeBSD. -D skips creation of
output ancestor directories, -m MODE sets output files mode,
and -u OWNER[:GROUP] sets output files owner and group.
zic now uses the fdopen function, which was standardized by
POSIX.1-1988 and is now safe to use in portable code.
This replaces its use of the older umask function, which
complicated maintenance.
Changes to commentary
The leapseconds file contains commentary about the IERS and NIST
last-modified and expiration timestamps for leap second data.
(Thanks to Judah Levine.)
Commentary now also uses characters from the set –‘’“”•≤ as this
can be useful and should work with current applications. This
also affects data in iso3166.tab and zone1970.tab, which now
contain strings like “Côte dIvoire” instead of “Côte d'Ivoire”.

From Chris Carrier (1996-12-02):
On 1929-10-01 the Soviet Union instituted an "Eternal Calendar"
with 30-day months plus 5 holidays, with a 5-day week.
On 1931-12-01 it changed to a 6-day week; in 1934 it reverted to the
Gregorian calendar while retaining the 6-day week; on 1940-06-27 it
reverted to the 7-day week. With the 6-day week the usual days
off were the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month.
(Source: Evitiar Zerubavel, _The Seven Day Circle_)
Mark Brader reported a similar story in "The Book of Calendars", edited
by Frank Parise (1982, Facts on File, ISBN 0-8719-6467-8), page 377. But:

If your source is correct, how come documents between 1929 and 1940 were
still dated using the conventional, Gregorian calendar?
I can post a scan of a document dated December 1, 1934, signed by
Yenukidze, the secretary, on behalf of Kalinin, the President of the
Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet, if you like.
Soviet Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar on 1918-02-14.
It also used 5- and 6-day work weeks at times, in parallel with the
Gregorian calendar; see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_calendar>.

solar timekeeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
For example, the MER mission defined two time zones "Local
Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two missions, each zone
For example, the MER mission defined two time zones Local
Solar Time A” and “Local Solar Time B” for its two missions, each zone
designed so that its time equals local true solar time at
approximately the middle of the nominal mission.
The A and B zones differ enough so that an MER worker assigned to
the A zone might suffer "Mars lag" when switching to work in the B zone.
Such a "time zone" is not particularly suited for any application
the A zone might suffer “Mars lag” when switching to work in the B zone.
Such a “time zone” is not particularly suited for any application
other than the mission itself.
