Rebase to tzdata-2024a
- Kazakhstan will transition from UTC+6 to UTC+5 on 2024-03-01.

predicted.
Rebase to tzdata-2023d
- Include time zone changes for Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
and Vostok, Antarctica.
- Update the expiration date for the leap-seconds.list file.
No new leap seconds were added.
At this point perhaps this could be disabled in stable branches too, but
at a minimum we neither need this for the next Fedora and RHEL versions,
nor want to require Java 8 to build it.
Rebase to tzdata-2023a
- Egypt reintroduced DST, from April through October.
- Morocco springs forward April 23, not April 30.
- Palestine delayed the start of DST this year.
This makes it possible to create a RHEL-compatible source RPM
on non-RHEL distributions. The patch is still included/skipped
at build time due to the remaining conditionals.
Rebase to tzdata-2022g
- The northern edge of the Mexican state of Chihuahua will
change time zone to agree with nearby US locations on
2022-11-30.

Rebase to tzdata-2022a
- Palestine springs forward on 2022-03-27, not 2022-03-26.
- zdump -v now outputs better failure information.
- bug fixes for code that reads corrupted TZif data.
to keep the legacy tzdata, now build requires both jdk8 and system jdk.
I recommend to put legacy tz data to separate subpkg or to drop them at all.
Also I would recomend to rename legacy tzdat.to versioned ones (eg avazi-1.7) and to keep future, rolling tzdata unversioned, as javazi only
Rebase to tzdata-2021e - supersedes tzdata-2021d
- Pacific/Fiji suspended DST for the 2021/2022 season.

- zic now creates each output file or link atomically.
- zic -L no longer omits the POSIX TZ string in its output.
- zic fixes for truncation and leap second table expiration.
- zic now follows POSIX for TZ strings using all-year DST.
- Fix some localtime crashes and bugs in obscure cases.
- zdump -v now outputs more-useful boundary cases.
- tzfile.5 better matches a draft successor to RFC 8536.
Rebase to tzdata-2020f including changes for tzdata-2020e
- tzdata-2020f fixes a bug in tzdata-2020e that caused an
invalid zi file in rearguard format
- Volgograd changes time zone from UTC+04 to UTC+03 on 2020-12-27.

- The most recent winter(+08)/summer(+11) transition for Casey Station,
Antarctica was 2020-10-04 00:01.
- Remove obsolete files pacificnew, systemv, and yearistype.sh
