Hi
I am looking in the Brazil rules and I was wondering if this was expected:
<snapshot>
Rule Brazil 2007 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 S
# From Frederico A. C. Neves (2008-09-10):
# Acording to this decree
# <a href="http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2007-2010/2008/Decreto/D6558.htm">
# http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2007-2010/2008/Decreto/D6558.htm
# </a>
# [t]he DST period in Brazil now on will be from the 3rd Oct Sunday to the
# 3rd Feb Sunday. There is an exception on the return date when this is
# the Carnival Sunday then the return date will be the next Sunday...
Rule Brazil 2008 max - Oct Sun>=15 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Brazil 2008 2011 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2012 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2013 2014 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2015 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2016 2022 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2023 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2024 2025 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2026 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2027 2033 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2034 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2035 2036 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2037 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
# From Arthur David Olson (2008-09-29):
# The next is wrong in some years but is better than nothing.
Rule Brazil 2038 max - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
</snapshot>
There is 2 'max' entry for Brazil, one for 2008, and one for 2038.
Rule Brazil 2008 max - Oct Sun>=15 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Brazil 2038 max - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Reading the entries for 2012+ I feel that the one for 2008 should be a 'only' rather than 'max'.
Is that correct?
Thanks
Alain Petit
