Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
Correct-timezone-symlinks-when-using-BACKWARD-backward-PA.patch Correct timezone symlinks when using BACKWARD=backward PACKRATDATA=backzone

When using BACKWARD=backward PACKRATDATA=backzone the symlinks might
point to the incorrect file (e.g. Africa/Asmera points to Africa/Nairobi
instead of Africa/Asmara).

Move the link to link feature from vanguard to main dataform to produce
correct symlink (e.g. Africa/Asmera -> Africa/Asmara) in this case. Drop
those link from `backward` that would cause symlinks to symlinks.

Revert-Fix-POSIX-conformance-of-old-SysV-names.patch Revert "Fix POSIX conformance of old SysV names"
This reverts commit c6926930728d81556e3406c4a6328a3b229b386d.

We do not want to make these backward-compatibility zones selectable for
users, nor move them from tzdata-legacy to tzdata. Just revert the
upstream change.
