I've set up an unofficial repository containing the tz code and data at <https://github.com/eggert/tz>. This is supposed to contain the history of changes to the tz code and data, back to the first commit in 1984. I plan to use it to publish further proposed changes. The official tz distributions will remain in their current location, at <ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/>.
Just to clarify: I understand the github repository is unofficial as a means of distribution, but it's considered to be the canonical repository, right? There's no intention to setup a more-official repository on some other hosting service? I think this is a great step to making the timezone maintenance a little more transparent. Cheers, Dirkjan
