> ok, from what I understand what is failing is to download the following due to a certificate issue: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdata-latest.tar.gz which if I understand correctly could be done via the tzdata lib proposed. We can still download the other file from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unicode-org/cldr/master/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml I don't think that's right. I think: 1. ORC needs access to a distribution of the timezone database which is in their binary format. This is the file tree usually at /usr/share/zoneinfo on Linux machines. This is not the file that's hosted by IANA. I'm fixing this now so the ORC tests run. 2. Arrow, including Arrow R and PyArrow, needs access to a text-based timezone archive. This _is_ the file hosted by IANA. We need to resolve this still. I'm working on improvements for (1) and need to think up a creative solution for (2). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
