It's already in the package they send to IANA and on the IANA servers. The tzdata-base is updated more often than every 6 months. They are up to "g" so far this year. But they come in clusters rather than a uniform distribution. Examples are at the bottom of: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/ Latest version is here: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/leap-seconds.list I can't find a https URL to just that file. There are URLs for the whole tarball. The catch is they don't update it automatically. Somebody has to tell them to fetch a new version. No big deal, just an email. I'm pretty sure we could get them to do a leap-seconds only release if they didn't have any other changes to push out. If we wanted to be helpful, we could write a script that does whatever and sends them a merge request. --------- The other problem is to get distros to distribute the leap-seconds file. I poked Fedora, they did it, but got the wrong format. (I didn't even know there was another format.) Time to poke them again. -- These are my opinions.
