15OVERVIEW
16
17This file describes the tools in icu/source/tools/tzcode
18
19The purpose of these tools is to process the zoneinfo or "Olson" time
20zone database into a form usable by ICU4C (release 2.8 and later).
21Unlike earlier releases, ICU4C 2.8 supports historical time zone
22behavior, as well as the full set of Olson compatibility IDs.

30ICU4C vs. ICU4J
31
32For ICU releases >= 2.8, both ICU4C and ICU4J implement full
33historical time zones, based on Olson data.  The implementations in C
34and Java are somewhat different.  The C implementation is a
35self-contained implementation, whereas ICU4J uses the underlying JDK
361.3 or 1.4 time zone implementation.
37
38Older versions of ICU (C and Java <= 2.6) implement a "present day
39snapshot".  This only reflects current time zone behavior, without
40historical variation.  Furthermore, it lacks the full set of Olson
41compatibility IDs.
42
43----------------------------------------------------------------------
44BACKGROUND
45
46The zoneinfo or "Olson" time zone package is used by various systems
47to describe the behavior of time zones.  The package consists of
48several parts.  E.g.:

63ICU only uses the tzdataYYYYV.tar.gz files,
64where YYYY is the year and V is the version letter ('a'...'z').

69HOWTO
70
710. Note, these instructions will only work on POSIX type systems.
72
731. Obtain the current versions of tzdataYYYYV.tar.gz (aka `tzdata') from
74   the FTP site given above.  Either manually download or use wget:
75
76   $ cd {path_to}/icu/source/tools/tzcode
77   $ wget "ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata*.tar.gz"
78
792. Copy only one tzdata*.tar.gz file into the icu/source/tools/tzcode/
80   directory (this directory).
81
82   *** Make sure you only have ONE FILE named tzdata*.tar.gz in the
83       directory.
84
853. Build ICU normally. You will see a notice "updating zoneinfo.txt..."
86
87### Following instructions for ICU maintainers only ###
88
894. Obtain the current version of tzcodeYYYY.tar.gz from the FTP site to
90   this directory.
91
925. Run make target "check-dump".  This target extract makes the original
93   tzcode and compile the original tzdata with icu supplemental data
94   (icuzones).  Then it makes zdump / icuzdump and dump all time
95   transitions for all ICU timezone to files under zdumpout / icuzdumpout
96   directory.  When they produce different results, the target returns
97   the error.
98
996. Don't forget to check in the new zoneinfo.txt (from its location at
100   {path_to}/icu/source/data/misc/zoneinfo.txt) into SVN.
