Hans,

For POSIX type clocks, 1 July 2015 will have two seconds denoted 00:00:00, but for real UTC clocks it will be 30 June that has 23:59:59 and 23:59:60.

You will be at UTC+2h since it will be summer-time.

Cheers,
Magnus

true, this depends on the definition of "pending". however, i found it a
bit odd that the software reports a scheduled (but not pending this
month) leap second on july 1st. it's june 30 that is 86401 seconds long,
not the day after. in my opinion there is nothing between june 30 and
july 1 that lasts 1 second.

but in the meantime it dawned on me that maybe the leap second date
respects my time zone (CET; UTC + 1). and indeed, as soon as i change
ptim:tzone from 1 to 0, the reported leap second date is june 30!

    Well, Said can tell us for sure (since he owns the firmware in the
    Fury) but you could call this is correct, because:

    1) a leap second is not pending this month
    2) the current leap second count is still 16
    3) the next leap second happen between 2015-06-30 and 2015-07-01
    4) the current month ends with a 60 second minute

    Check again after June 1st.
