See: <https://www.iana.org/time-zones> and follow links to
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2023-March/032758.html>,
which recommends:
* To adopt the rule change, use Libyan time (TZ='Africa/Tripoli').
Alternatively if you have a POSIX-conforming system you can use
TZ='EET-2EEST,M4.3.5/0,M10.5.0/0' instead.
More relevant to this list, when IBM ships a system outside the USA
does it ship with /etc/profile configured for the POSIX time zone for
the destination? What assistance does IBM supply? Most desktop
and handheld systems come configured with the tzdata utility
(see above). POSIX time zone definitions are effectively idiosyncratic,
hardly required other than by IBM. Instances are hard to find and
ugly. For example, for Tel Aviv:
TZ=IST-2IDT,M3.4.4/26,M10.5.0
