Hi, I'd appreciate community input on this plan. Ideally if others decide to also ship a similar subpackage we can use a common naming convention and install directory. We are planning to ship a new subpackage for users who want to have access to the raw zone data files e.g. leapseconds, and in a pre-determined install location e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo/zonedata/. The raw zone data is useful for users designing their own interfaces on top of this data. The broadest flexibility is offered by the raw zone data, and while the compiled binary data is versioned and more stable, some users have expressed a request for the raw zone data. The understanding is that the raw zone data format may change. In summary: Our current plan is to use -zonedata in naming the subpackage, For example, tzdata-zonedata-2017b-1.el7. We plan to install the files in this subpackage under /usr/share/zoneinfo/zonedata/. Just as an example we would ship the following files: LICENSE version africa antarctica asia australasia europe northamerica southamerica pacificnew etcetera backward systemv factory backzone iso3166.tab leapseconds leap-seconds.list zone1970.tab zone.tab Thank you!
