> I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13033 for this. Nice, I was also writing it just now :) The strptime timzone ignoring issue is [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12820). > Or does the vendored date.h also include functionalities to automatically download the data if not available on the system? As per HowardHinnant's [answer](https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date/issues/641#issuecomment-765732206): > The library can be configured to not go to the internet for tzdata. tzdata can either be downloaded manually, and this lib can find it, or (on non-Windows systems), the OS-supplied tzdata can be used. I suppose we could have the kernel try getting data online. If that fails try OS and as a final fallback use arrow bundled tz db (which we would have to add in this PR). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
