-# Yesterday, the Knesset Interior Committee passed a proposed (originally
-# in March 2004) change to the Time Setting Law that would make the dates
-# for DST from 2005 and beyond so that DST starts on the night _after_ the
-# first night of the Passover holiday at midnight until midnight of the
-# Saturday night _before_ the fast of Yom Kippur.
+# The proposed law agreed upon by the Knesset Interior Committee on
+# 2005-02-14 is that, for 2005 and beyond, DST starts at 02:00 the
+# last Friday before April 2nd (i.e. the last Friday in March or April
+# 1st itself if it falls on a Friday) and ends at 02:00 on the Saturday

+# From Paul Eggert (2005-02-22):
+# I used Ephraim Silverberg's dst-israel.el program

+# along with Ed Reingold's cal-hebrew in GNU Emacs 21.4,
+# to generate the transitions in this list.
+# (I replaced "lastFri" with "Fri>=26" by hand.)
+# The spring transitions below all correspond to the following Rule:
#
-# ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/announcements/2005+.ps
+# Rule Zion 2005 max - Mar Fri>=26 2:00 1:00 D
#
-# The proposal still has to be passed by the Knesset (three readings) for
-# it to become law....
+# but older zic implementations (e.g., Solaris 8) do not support
+# "Fri>=26" to mean April 1 in years like 2005, so for now we list the
+# springtime transitions explicitly.
-# From Paul Eggert (2004-12-22):
-# For now, guess that the rules proposed on 2004-12-20 will be adopted.
-# This is quite possibly wrong, but it is more likely than no DST at all.
