There is IERS Bulletin C from 2023-07-04 announcing no new leap second on 2023-12-31 That's been installed in the development repository here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eggert/tz/main/leap-seconds.list Is there some reason we need a new TZDB release because of this? Do you use software that requires that this file come from a TZDB release, rather than from other sources such as the one mentioned above? I recall that traditionally ntpd needed leap-seconds.list and looked at the expiration but am not up to date with what its successor NTPsec is doing. chrony does not currently use leap-seconds.list - and although this has been proposed for a future release, that proposal does not look at the expiration; see: https://www.mail-archive.com/chrony-dev@chrony.tuxfamily.org/msg02727.html
