<p>I have the impression that the document form the Lisbon
astronomical observatory, which I linked in my first post, is
quite reliable.</p>

<div>Some time ago, I'd looked into some other changes for
Portugal and found that our data there, which is mostly from
Shanks, likely needs a complete overhaul, much like <a
href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-February/017706.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">I did for Uruguay in 2018</a>. I'd
made significant progress on this, working on data from
Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa, before more important
things came up and I had to shelve the branch.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div>I just checked, and it seems I'd ended up with "Apr
Sun>=1 1:00s" for 1980, which is equivalent to the law text
you provided (at least for the mainland, "1 hora de tempo
universal"), but not quite to your patch. But, for example,
I'd also had that for 1978 and 1979 as well, which is an hour
different to what's currently in tzdb for those years.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you'll allow me a few days to dust off and clean up what
I had already for the mainland, I'd rather we take the time to
ensure this is done right and not commit changes here in a
piecemeal fashion. I imagine there might be a couple
revisions before it ultimately lands in the repo, but as this
is all historical there is no urgency.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One thing I *know* I could use help with, and that we need
to be careful of, is figuring out how changes to 'Port' rules,
in use until 1983, affect Azores and Madeira. Since we seem
to know that Portugal didn't harmonize with EU DST practice
until 1992, I wouldn't want to guess that that's what was done
1916–1983. So if someone could help find *some* relevant text
from that period, that would really help.</div>
