Hello,

Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> skribis:

Good catch.

I wonder if icu4c should instead depend on =E2=80=98tzdata-for-tests=E2=80=
=99, which is
changed less frequently to avoid full rebuilds?  Maybe Leo can comment.

I hope icu4c also honors the TZDIR environment variable, which would
allow users to have it refer to the latest version.  Do you know if
that=E2=80=99s the case?

Last thing: this would probably be for =E2=80=98core-updates-next=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
