Network Time Foundation's General Timestamp API Project, http://nwtime.org/projects/timestamp-api/
has already started working on this. We've demonstrated the ability to handle timescales that use different lengths of a second, and are ready to handle timestamps that use SI seconds, UTC, IERS-A, Google's Leap Smear, and Martian Standard Time. We've done a proof-of-concept that has this timestamp structure maintained in the kernel clock code. Timescales have "versions". Ones like TAI are expected to have very few versions. Local timezone databases seem to be updated about a dozen or two times per year. Timescales like IERS-A get an updated version every week. We need help with this - financial and manpower. If you'd like to see this work advanced, please support us, and if appropriate, have the (division of the) company you work for support us: http://nwtime.org/membership/why-join/ -- Harlan Stenn <[email protected]> http://networktimefoundation.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
