Hi all, I have just bumped into tzdata (https://www.iana.org/time-zones), to notice that 2018c has been released. Surely, there will be a refresh for the next release?
At the same time I have played with the instructions in src/timezone/README to generate the attached. That's always an experience to take. One abbreviation has been visibly removed as far as I can see. I know that Tom does that before each release, I just got curious about how this gets updated, and I am wondering if I got the thing right ;) Thanks, -- Michael
