Bug#842935: ITP: casacore-data-tai-utc -- Difference table between TAI and UTC for casacore
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ole Streicher X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-as...@lists.debian.org * Package name: casacore-data-tai-utc * License : BSD-2-Clause Description : Difference table between TAI and UTC for casacore This native package contains the leap second difference between TAI and UTC, created from /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list. The data are in a format specific to casacore. The table is kept in sync with the tzdata package. The package is a part of the effort taken by Benda Xu and me within the Debian Astro team to split up the original "casacore-data" package (RFP #761146) by data source into smaller packages which can be maintained independently. The package will be maintained on our git repository under https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/casacore-data-tai-utc.git Best regards Ole

Hi Jonathan, the original casacore package takes these data from usno; however after some discussion in debian-science I was convinced that tzdata is reliably enough for our use: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2016/10/msg00494.html Best regards Ole On 02.11.2016 13:37, Jonathan Quick wrote: > Hi Ole > > On Wed, November 2, 2016 2:08 pm, Ole Streicher wrote: >> Package: wnpp >> Severity: wishlist >> Owner: Ole Streicher >> X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-as...@lists.debian.org >> >> * Package name: casacore-data-tai-utc >> * License : BSD-2-Clause >> Description : Difference table between TAI and UTC for casacore >> >> This native package contains the leap second difference between TAI and >> UTC, created from /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list.

Technically the canonical source for this information is the Bulletin C issued by the IERS at roughly six monthly intervals. I hope the leap-seconds.list is maintained in reference to those.
