I note from the recent release notes that the leap-seconds.list file is generated using leapseconds.awk. Previous to this change, it was possible to compile and install the tz files just using the tzdata tarball. As the leapseconds.awk file is only shipped in the tzcode tarball, this is now no longer possible. Would it be possible to ship either the leapseconds.awk file, or a generated copy of leap-seconds.list in the tzdata tarball so that the tzcode tarball is once more no longer required?
ITYM the leapseconds file should be in the tzdata tarball. It isn't and that's a bug! (It mistakenly includes the leapseconds.list file instead of the leapseconds file.) -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd. E-mail: <abbotti@mev.co.uk> )=- -=( Tel: +44 (0)161 477 1898 FAX: +44 (0)161 718 3587 )=-
