The choice of cities for tzdata is not driven by what city is a capital or not, but about historical timezone rules in the particular area. For many countries capital cities are missing and there are other cities instead. If you want, you can argue with tzdata maintainers (tz.nih.gov), we are definitely not going to diverge from upstream tzdata. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: Whenever I have to install or change the timezone to match our zone, we have to choose America/Guayaquil or America/Bogota or America/Lima Lima is the capital of Per�, Bogot� the capital of Colombia. Guayaquil is a big city in Ecuador however it is not the capital of Ecuador. Even windows lets you choose Quito in the time zone (Bogot�, Lima, Quito). Can you please fix this so When selecting the zone for Ecuador the capital of Ecuador (Quito) is showed instead of Guayaquil? Guayaquil can stay there in the timezones, just that I think you only record the capital of each country. regards Ernesto Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "setup" 2. Select Timezone configuration 3. Look for America/Quito (will not find it). Look for America/Bogota, or America/anyothercapital Actual Results: You must choose anything GMT-5 but Quito, because Quito is not in the list. But Guayaquil an important city but not the capital of Ecuador. Expected Results: You should find America/Quito, the capital of Ecuador. And not America/ Guayaquil, they are both in the same timezone Additional info: Galapagos island time is correct, don't touch it.
