part of the NTP protocol deals with the scheduling insertion/deletion of leap seconds. > Why do people point to leap-seconds.NTPtimestamp instead of just > leap-seconds.list? leap-seconds.list is not the file itself, but a symbolic link, which in itself contains no relevant information other than the pathname, in this case relative, to the actual file. The symbolic link leap-seconds.list does not exist on some repositories of the information, for example on the navy server tyco. Using the full timestamped name is also the only way of unambiguously identifying this data. The time stamp differs on different sources. > > My five line leap second file with comments and one extra line for > (completely unnecessary) context. > > #$ 3629404800 > #@ 3660249600 > 3550089600 35 # 1 Jul 2012 > 3644697600 36 # 1 Jul 2015 > #h 6eb5f274 cb8c4f5d 6ac15b69 6b095017 f219e7c > _______________________________________________ > questions mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
