Bug#444866: Bug #444866: tzdata: Please provide tzdata-source package with original Olsen database
Hi, I second the request. A source package with the original timezone data would be very useful for the jdk packages and libjoda-time-java, too.

Note that a tzdata-java package will be provided soon (when the openjdk package is uploaded to unstable). I am clearly not in favor of providing tzdata-source (and I guess it is the same for the release team), as it means each time a new tzdata is uploaded (and that happens often), other packages depending on tzdata-source have to be rebuilt. -- .''`.

Providing another library with 100% compatible API is interesting idea, but the DateTime::TimeZone already exists and is used by some existing projects and packages. This library is stable and reliable. I'm the maintainer of DateTime::TimeZone , not the upstream developer. I really don't want to completly redesign this library just because the Debian already provides the Olson DB only as binary data. Rewriting the library from scratch can't be harmless for its stability and reliability. I think this idea is just not realizable. -- .''`.Piotr Roszatycki : :' :mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
