Time#zone returns the time zone used for time FAILED Expected "+03" to equal "AST" about spec

[eregon]

The code is

spec/core/time/zone_spec.rb

Lines 6 to 9 in 0fe99d2

	# Testing with Asia/Kuwait here because it doesn't have DST.
	with_timezone("Asia/Kuwait") do
	Time.now.zone.should == "AST"
	end

So I guess your system timezone information does not know the Asia/Kuwait zone?

@eregon I also thought so, but…

$ cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuwait 
TZif2������6��+�*0�LMT+03TZif2����������6��+�*0�LMT+03
<+03>-3

I have a slightly different version of that file:

cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuwait  
TZif2������6��+�*0�LMTASTTZif2����������6��+�*0�LMTAST
AST-3

So it looks like yours does not have the AST shortname in it.

Maybe we should just use America/New_York => 'EST' for everything, would that work on your system?

@AlexWayfer I pushed a fix, could you check it works for you?
Thank you for the report!
