Subject: Add regression test coverage for non-default timezone abbreviation sets.
X-Git-Tag: REL9_6_0~47
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=512c197b21aa86b1827bfc433f4aebc1469648fe;p=postgresql

Add regression test coverage for non-default timezone abbreviation sets.

After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f25,
I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to
check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable.
Add that.

Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good
idea to keep this all in sync.

 the appropriate fix is to make it refer to a long-form zone name instead
 of a fixed GMT offset.
 
+The core regression test suite does some simple validation of the zone
