I am now maintaining a patch that fixes the Australian timezone names on Unix-like systems.

What am I fixing?

The Australian timezone names on many Unix-like systems are missing the 'A' at the start. It's AEST, not EST. AWST, not WST. The existing timezone data makes no distinction between standard time and daylight saving time, eg. AEST vs. AEDT — it calls them both EST.

There's more info on my tzdata-au page. Naturally I'd be happy to hear from people who use this.
