tzdb-latest.tar.gz download issue
The lzip file, https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdb-latest.tar.lz redirects to https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb-latest.tar.lz and downloads successfully. The gzip file, https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdb-latest.tar.gz redirects to https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb-latest.tar.gz and then fails with a 404. They both used to work, not sure what happened. Thanks, Matt

The gzip version has the data and code separated into two archives, namely: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzcode-latest.tar.gz https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdata-latest.tar.gz This behaviour has not changed. The lzip file was added later with the two aggregated. kim

Are you sure they both used to work? The .gz link is something I don't recall publishing or advertising. tzcode and tzdata use .gz to compress, but tzdb uses .lz.
Nevermind, I was indeed using tzdata-latest.tar.gz before in my code. I must have transposed it to tzdb somewhere in my typing. Sorry for the false alarm. ________________________________ From: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> Sent: Tuesday, June 4, 2019 12:51 PM To: Matt Johnson Cc: Time Zone Mailing List Subject: Re: [tz] tzdb-latest.tar.gz download issue On 6/4/19 12:28 PM, Matt Johnson wrote:
