2016g tagged but not released
Hello, I see that 2016g was tagged on github three days ago, but it was not put up on the IANA archive. https://github.com/eggert/tz/releases/tag/2016g Was there a problem with a script?

Yes, release 2016g (which has the recent change for Turkey) is final and will not be changed. Any further changes will go into 2016h or 2017a or whatever. Unfortunately ICANN is backlogged and so the 2016g tarballs have not yet been published on the iana.org website. I plan to ping them in a few days if they are not up by then. In the meantime you can get a copy of 2016g as an attachment to my earlier email to the tz list, archived here: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-September/024111.html

I'd imagine we'll always be somewhat dependent on them as long as they host the official "blessed" tarballs, but if there's any way we can reduce/minimize the necessary work we need from them to issue a release, we should try to do so. Even a weeklong backlog, as we've seen here so far, will start to become aggravating for users. -- Tim Parenti

GitHub creates a tarball for every tag. See https://github.com/eggert/tz/releases That said, I'd feel a lot better about using this if it wasn't referred to on the TZ page at ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tz-link.html as "an unofficial development repository". In fact, it'd be nice in general if this project was more like every other project in having an _official_ public repo and a website that wasn't just an HTML page served via FTP.

+1 on this. Its official in every way except for being labelled unofficial, and its not like we can't change the official location later if we want to. -- Stuart Bishop <stuart@stuartbishop.net> http://www.stuartbishop.net/

That's easy enough to fix. There's little point to saying the development repository is "unofficial", as the data files are not authoritative. Proposed patch attached.

I think github has mechanisms for uploading binaries (such as blessed tarballs) as part of a release. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd. E-mail: <abbotti@mev.co.uk> )=- -=( Web: http://www.mev.co.uk/ )=-

Yes, fixing this has been on our list of things to do for years. ICANN and I have talked about improvements but we have not squeezed out enough resources to actually do them. Perhaps in ICANN's next fiscal year....
FYI, “make tarballs” now fails on macOS: tar `if tar --numeric-owner --owner=0 --group=0 --mode=go+u,go-w --sort=name --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo --numeric-owner --owner=0 --group=0 --mode=go+u,go-w --sort=name; else :; fi` -cf - tzdb-2016g | lzip -9 > tzdb-2016g.tar.lz /bin/sh: lzip: command not found make[1]: *** [tzdb-2016g.tar.lz] Error 127 make: *** [tarballs] Error 2 FWIW, it finishes the legacy formats first. Can we please have a separate target that builds just the legacy tarballs? Yes, I can build the tzdata and tzcode tarball targets separately, but a combo target would be nice. Thanks, Debbie

You're missing the lzip command. To fix this you can run 'apt-get install lzip' if your operating system is like Debian, 'dnf install lzip' if it's like Fedora, etc. Or you can build lzip from source <http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html>.
