tzcode2012c and tzdata2012d available
New versions of the tz code and data are now available from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2012c.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2012d.tar.gz These reflect the changes for Morocco's time stamps, which take effect in a couple of hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz code and data are released on IANA. Sorry about the late release. I will send more details to the tz mailing list shortly.

Something in the FTP server is broken. It lets me view a directly listing but I can't download a file. I tried Chrome, wget, and Perl's Net::FTP module. As an aside, can these just be offered via HTTP? FTP is painful to automate. Also, it'd be great if there were tz{code,data}-latest.tar.gz symlinks available. That'd make automating downloads even easier.

Yes, they're at: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2012c.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2012d.tar.gz

These are at: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz I'll try to remember to announce all this better next time. As you may be able to tell, we're ironing out the kinks of the new release mechanism, which operated the first time today.

Ah, this is all great. I do have one more request. It'd be nice if the version number was somewhere in the tarballs. As it is, the only way to get the version is to parse the file name, which means if I use the -latest tarballs, I have no idea what version they represent.

Thanks for all your work on this. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

I had this problem too, initially. But it was resolved within a few minutes of the files being uploaded. Here's what I see now. Perhaps you're accessing the files through a cache that is now invalid? If so, clearing the cache should fix things. $ ftp -p ftp.iana.org Trying 192.0.32.8...

Hi Paul, Seems like the version info of the file is missing in 2012d tzdata which was released yesterday. e.g 2012d/africa 2012c/africa 1a2
# @(#)africa 8.35
2012d/antarctica 2012c/antarctica 1a2
# @(#)antarctica 8.10
etc. This version info gives us the info about the changes. Is that missed this time ? Thanks Abhijit On 7/19/2012 6:03 PM, Paul Eggert wrote:

Seems like the version info of the file is missing This feature was removed, alas, as part of the transition from SCCS to git. Git doesn't substitute for those version strings. See:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-July/018127.html Version strings were added in a different way, for programs like zic that have a version output. See TZCODE_VERSION and TZDATA_VERSION in the latest Makefile.
