I've put an informational page together which provides some basic information on the NTP leap second file: https://kb.meinbergglobal.com/kb/time_sync/ntp/configuration/ntp_leap_second...
This page and site is highly informative. A great reference for actual low-level timekeeping (and great for Hare). Thank you for sharing!
So my previous suggestion remains:
- Ignore all comment lines except the special ones starting with "#$", "#@", or "#h", which have special meanings.
- Treat tabs or spaces between data fields in the same way, as field separators.
Also, considering the rules for sha1 hash generation and validation, and this is likely to continue to be the case if a better modern hash is added, only the numeric digits in the uncommented portions and special comment lines should be considered significant data: everything else is documentation for human consumption only.
Yes. Thanks again b
