* Sorry for the Subject: gore... Hello all,
So last night cron.weekly ran on all my boxes, and update-leap failed on most of them. I’m using the distro package on all of these. Here is what I discovered: Older machine - Ubuntu 16.04. update-leap script is 1.003. This version uses File::Fetch and thus supports FTP. My LEAPSRC URI on this machine is: ftp://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list This machine worked fine, pulled a new version. My newer machines (ex: Debian 11) - they all failed. They have update-leap version 1.004 which seems to have dropped File::Fetch in favor of an HTTP(S) only module/transport. LEAPSRC on these is: https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list Hah ! As I was typing this message, it looks like the output changed from a 404 to: ietf.org is no longer serving this file. So, what’s an HTTP(S) URI I can use now since the newer version of this script doesn’t support FTP ? And yes I know I can manually update this file etc. Just wanting to get things fixed properly so they run smoothly in an automatic fashion as they have for quite some time… Thanks.
