Description Zied Fakhfakh 2009-04-07 21:51:14 UTC

HI,

There won't be DST change in TUNISIA this year, and obviously the next year
too.

so Tunisia will keep it's legal time which GMT+1 for the whole year.
here's a tunisian website talking about it
http://www.bab-el-web.com/home/Lire-article?=&a=1101841&t=4 and the official
newspaper http://www.lapresse.tn/index.php?opt=15&categ=1&news=90078

kind regards.

This is what we currently ship:

$ ~/src/tzdiff/zidiff.py -c 2005 usr-2011n-2/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Tunis
Introduced CET (UTC+1, std) 30th (5th Fri) Sep 2005 00:00:00
Introduced CEST (UTC+2, dst) 30th (5th Sat) Apr 2005 23:00:00
Introduced CET (UTC+1, std) last Sun Oct 01:00:00: 2006,2008
Introduced CEST (UTC+2, dst) last Sun Mar 01:00:00: 2006,2008

(-c 2005 means to list stamps post 2005.)  We fixed this, we just forgot to attach this bug to an erratum.
