This text applies to building firebird.
You are wrong, maybe you should read again.

If I am wrong, it may be because the instructions are not clear. The
README file says:
"The content of the zip file must be extracted in the |tzdata|
subdirectory of Firebird's root, overwriting the others |*.res| files of
the old database.
Note: |<firebird root>/tzdata| is the default directory where Firebird
looks for the database. It could be overriden with the
|ICU_TIMEZONE_FILES_DIR| environment variable."
I see an icu/tzdata directory in the source tree, but I don't see one in
either the Windows zip or the Linux archive.
1. Does this directory only exist when created by the end user when a
time zone database update is installed or should it be created when
Firebird is installed?
2. Is this a procedure that the local database adminstrator has to
carry out as part of Firebird maintenance?
3. Does this apply to Linux distributions as well as to Windows
distributions?
4. Do I have to perform the same procedure on every database client so
that their local ICU copies are also up-to-date?
This all goes back to my original worry: what do I tell the end user
when it comes to maintaining the Firebird server's time zone database?
