Public bug reported: The currently published tzdata package for supported distributions contains a leap-seconds.list file that expires on 28 June 2017 and that was based on data available up through IERS Bulletin C52.
IERS Bulletin C53 was published on Jan 9 2017 confirming that a June 30 2017 would not be issued. I'm not sure what serves as the upstream data source for this package, but both IEFT and the eggertz tz repo have a leap-seconds.list file that incorporates Bulletin C53. https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/leap-seconds.list Would it be possible to get the package updated to include these more recent files? Some applications make use of the expiration data in this file and will raise exceptions to the user if it has gone stale. ** Affects: tzdata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696298 Title: leap-seconds.list file expires 28 June 2017 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1696298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
