Subject: Istanbul,Turkey needs time zone rule update



Hi, 

This is Amar Devegowda from IBM India Software Labs. 
I sent this mail to tz at lecserver.nci.nih.gov couple of times and got
bounced and now I am sending it directly to you. 

I downloaded the tzdata2006p.tar.gz  and found that the time zone rules
for Istanbul, Turkey (File name: europe in tzdata2006p.tar.gz) are
outdated.   The time zone rules for Istanbul, Turkey have not been
changed for years now.  It seems like that it was last updated in year
1985 or so.   

The latest rules are available at - 
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=107 

We have customers reporting problems to us stating that our Java has got
outdated time zone rules for Istanbul, Turkey.  Hence, could you please
update the time zone database with the new rules for Istanbul, Turkey ? 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards,
Amar
