Thanks. However, the only thing I really did was automate the process of 
turning a new Olson release into a DT::TZ release. If you look at the 
DT::TZ repo, you'll see a script called tools/update-from-latest-olson.


It grabs the tarballs from ftp, compiles zic, and installs the latest 
Olson data on my machine. Then it makes the Perl modules from the same 
data, and generates a bunch of tests using zdump.


All I do after that is run the tests and do the Perl module release bits 
(run disttest, make a tag, upload the tarball). Since AFAICT the bugs in 
my Olson-parsing and zone-generating code are either nonexistent or 
invisible, the tests have been passing for a long time, which is the 
biggest potential point of failure.


When I used to do all this by hand, releases lagged way too far behind the 
Olson updates, because it was so darn tedious.

Dear Dave,

That is impressive - I got the notification that 2007i was released about 
two hours ago (according to Gmail) through my subscription to the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.

Well done!
