Hello,<br>
<br>
Please note too that the Moroccan government has change too the
date to the beginning of DST at the last sunday of March (April
before).<br>

I've posted this mail because I think that the proposed patch seems
not include this change and the management of Ramadan time (return
to GMT+0 when the month of Ramadan is inside the DST time).<br>

<pre wrap="">Come to think of it, my previously-proposed patch can't
be right for 2036 and 2037. as the predicted dates for
Ramadan in those years overlap the new fall-back dates.
Here's a revised patch that takes this into account; this
matters only for time stamps after 2035.
As a result of this change, Africa/Casablanca becomes the
only Zone for which zic cannot generate a POSIX environment
variable (for time stamps past 2038).
I've pushed this revised edition to the experimental version
on github.
