Dear Time Zone Database folks,
Visiting Doha, I wanted to change to its time zone, and knowing
`Europe/Berlin`, I looked for *Doha*, but didn’t find it in GNOME [1].
Looking through the Time Zone Database archive, there is in `asia` [3]:
# Bahrain
# Qatar
# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Asia/Qatar 3:26:08 - LMT 1920 # Al Dawhah /
Doha
4:00 - %z 1972 Jun
3:00 - %z
The comment is not in my file on Debian though in
`/usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi` from *tzdata* 2025c-3.
Z Asia/Qatar 3:26:8 - LMT 1920
4 - %z 1972 Jun
3 - %z
Of course, I do not know, if the comment would change anything.
Would it be possible to also add Qatar’s capital to the database. Or is
there another way to make it easier for people to find the right time
zone entry?
Kind regards,
Paul
