Ah, yes; you are correct Øyvind. You can think of https://github.com/eggert/tz as the "official experimental" repository; i.e., the official place where changes are staged; whereas http://www.iana.org/time-zones is currently the only official avenue for full stable releases. -- Tim Parenti On 26 February 2014 13:05, Øyvind A.

Experimetal? I think it would be a great solution to have the official tz database placed in a Git repo somewhere, and GitHub is a nice place to put it. Are there any other official tz repositories somewhere?
The experimental version IS on github. But github is not the best place to manage releases! Only developing the next release.
I agree on that. But it would be nice to have an official "blessed" location where the development happens so we get a full authoritative history of the changes. But it seems as github.com/eggert/tz/ is the most "official" repository at the moment, and based on Paul's history with the project, it seems as the correct place to have it for now. If there should be some changes in that opinion (GitHub getting difficult or something), it's easy to push it somewhere else. I was just wondering if that repo is recognised as the official place where all the good stuff happens, and it looks like that to me.
