Priyada Iman Nurcahyo is not on the time zone mailing list; direct replies
appropriately.
(I've already written to Priyada Iman Nurcahyo about how time zone
abbreviations are derived from
English-language time zone names; the matter of potential importance here is
the city name change.)

Subject: indonesia time zone correction
Hello,
I have your email address from timezone/asia file inside the GNU
C library distribution. I need to correct the specification for our
time zone. I hope this is the correct address to send this information.
Basically, the only things that needs changing are the names of timezone,
at least that what I know of. I don't know where you got abbreviations
like JAVT, JST, or CST, so I left them intact. The following are a patch
to asia file that changes:
- WIT to WIB, waktu indonesia barat (english: west indonesian time)
- CIT to WITA, waktu indonesia tengah (central indonesian time)
- EIT to WIT, waktu indonesia timur (east indonesian time)
- City of Ujungpandang has been renamed to Makassar, so I create an
entry for Makassar, but left Ujungpandang to facilitate upgrades
Thank you for your time...
ps. is it okay to create more major cities to be included in this file?
