Next, while elsie's ftp server is shut down, munnari.oz.au isn't, and the tz database & code remains available from here. Further, I will not respond to requests from (almost) anyone to cease making those files available (including Arthur and Paul - but by all means feel free to try if you need to to satisfy some obligation to cease making the data available - I'll ignore you, but you will at least have used every reasonable effort...)

Unfortunately, I don't have the sccs (or is it rcs or something these days) master files, so I won't be able to do quite the same job that Arthur did, but I can keep all versions so they can be checked into a version control system later.
It's probably a good time to switch to a distributed version control software (git, hg, bzr, etc.) with a public repository so that anyone can easily mirror the database (and follow the changes made by authors for the next updates).
As a first move, have a look at the git import of all code/data archives found at ftp://munnari.oz.au/pub/oldtz/ https://quoi.quest-ce.net/gitweb/?p=tz/code.git;a=summary https://quoi.quest-ce.net/gitweb/?p=tz/data.git;a=summary Each archives was imported using git fast-import base "import-tar" script. To retrieve the repository, run git clone git://quoi.quest-ce.net/tz/code.git git clone git://quoi.quest-ce.net/tz/data.git One can use these repositories as a starting point while waiting for a better import of the project history.
