-Name claimed. The real package is published from https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/homescoop/tree/main/packages/tzdata.
+The IANA time zone database 2026f as compiled zone files, so TZ=Europe/Berlin works in python, perl and ruby.
+
+The [IANA tz database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones), compiled with the
+release's own `zic`, as a data-only package: no commands, no install
+scripts, no dependencies. It's what lets `TZ=Europe/Berlin` (the zone
+slicc-kernel puts in every environment) work in programs that ask libc for
+local time: wasix-python's `time.localtime()`, `datetime.now().astimezone()`
+and `strftime('%Z')`, Perl's `localtime` and POSIX `strftime`, Ruby's
+`Time.now`. coreutils' `date` reads `TZ` on its own.
+
+## The path
+
+The zone files are at **`share/zoneinfo/`** in the package:
+
+```text
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/UTC            (also Etc/UTC)
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern     (backward's old names)
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi      (the whole database as zic input, "# version 2026f" first)
+<package root>/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab   (also zone.tab, zonenow.tab, iso3166.tab, leapseconds)
+```
+
+`package.json` says the same in `slicc.zoneinfo` (`"share/zoneinfo"`, relative
+to the package root), and `homescoop.upstream` is the IANA release.
+
+The package root is wherever the installer puts `@ai-ecoverse/tzdata`:
+`/node_modules/@ai-ecoverse/tzdata` for a global add or the base set, and
+`/opt/slicc/tools/node_modules/@ai-ecoverse/tzdata` when slicc-bios installs
+it as one of seven's tools (its pnpm project at `/opt/slicc/tools`, whose
+files pnpm keeps in the store at `/opt/slicc/.store`). That path stays the
+same across updates: pnpm links it to the installed version's directory
+under `node_modules/.pnpm`, and an update moves the link, not the name.
+
+## Making it the system's zoneinfo
+
+musl (wasix-sysroot's `__tz.c`) looks a zone name up only under
+`/usr/share/zoneinfo/`, `/share/zoneinfo/` and `/etc/zoneinfo/`, takes
+`TZ=:/absolute/path`, and reads `/etc/localtime` when `TZ` is unset.
+Installing the package alone does none of that. slicc-bios links
+`/usr/share/zoneinfo` to the package's `share/zoneinfo` and points
+`/etc/localtime` at the current zone's file. By hand:
+
+```sh
+ln -s /node_modules/@ai-ecoverse/tzdata/share/zoneinfo /usr/share/zoneinfo
+TZ=Europe/Berlin python3 -c 'import time; print(time.strftime("%Z %z"))'
+# or, with nothing linked:
+TZ=:/node_modules/@ai-ecoverse/tzdata/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin perl -e 'print scalar localtime, "\n"'
+```
+
+Python's `zoneinfo` finds the same tree through its system path
+(`/usr/share/zoneinfo` is on `zoneinfo.TZPATH`), so it no longer needs
+`@ai-ecoverse/py-tzdata` once the link is there.
+
+## What's in it
+
+- Main data plus `backward`, so old names (`US/Eastern`, `Asia/Calcutta`,
+  `GB`) resolve. No `backzone`, and no `right/` or `posix/` trees: musl and
+  Python read the plain files, and leap-second time is not POSIX time.
+- Slim TZif (`zic -b slim`): 64-bit data and the POSIX `TZ` footer for the
+  years after the last transition, about half the size of `-b fat`.
+- Every name is a regular file. zic makes `backward`'s links hard links,
+  which npm refuses, so each alias is a copy of its target's bytes.
+
+The data is in the public domain (`LICENSE` is upstream's).
