Failed to update tzdata2016g and higer with tzupdater
Hi, We found an issue when try to update timezone with the tzdata2016g.tar.gz - tzdata2016i.tar.gz The problem is that VERSION in the Makefile is not correct, the correct value should match with tz version i.e. 2016i not unknown. # Version number for the distribution, overridden in the 'tarballs' rule below. VERSION= unknown The workaround has been mention in, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39832866/tzupdater-failing-with-tzdata201... * Update Makefile of http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2016g.tar.gz: Original value of VERSION variable is unknown and you need to update it to 2016g. * Regenerate tzdata2016g.tar.gz.sha512 file So far we need to apply the workaround on each release. It would be great if you can correct the version in next release? Regards, Sawadee M.

It's not likely that we'll put a non-default VERSION into the Makefile, as this wouldn't work well with the finer-grained version numbers we're using now (one per commit, in principle). However, we have been putting the version info into a new file "version" that TZUpdater should be able to use instead, at some point.
