872 # From Paul Eggert (2013-03-06):
873 # Morocco's daylight-saving transitions due to Ramadan seem to be
874 # announced a bit in advance. On 2012-07-11 the Moroccan government
875 # announced that year's Ramadan daylight-saving transitions would be
876 # 2012-07-20 and 2012-08-20; see
877 # <http://www.mmsp.gov.ma/fr/actualites.aspx?id=288>.
878 #
879 # To estimate what the Moroccan government will do in future years,
880 # transition dates for 2013 through 2021 were determined by running
881 # the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3:

899 # with the results hand-edited for 2020-2022, when the normal spring-forward
900 # date falls during the estimated Ramadan.
901 #
902 # From 2023 through 2038 Ramadan is not predicted to overlap with
903 # daylight saving time. Starting in 2039 there will be overlap again,
904 # but 32-bit time_t values roll around in 2038 so for now do not worry
