Right, it was fixed upstream.

So now I am totally confused. This is the current data, which this original bug report was all about:

# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2008-09-05):
# As per message from Carlos Alberto Fonseca Arauz (Nicaragua),
# Argentina will start DST on Sunday October 19, 2008.

Rule Arg 2007 only - Dec 30 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Arg 2008 max - Mar Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 2008 max - Oct Sun>=15 0:00 1:00 S

This means that starting on October 19, DST will be *start* in Argentinia. So is this right or not? I. e. was DST start just moved to October, or won't 2008 have DST at all then?

Please give some current references to the definitive place, then we can fix it and work with upstream to fix it for everyone. Thanks!
