Proposal: include leap-seconds.list from tzdata
Hi,
I'd like to propose including one more file from the tzdata
distribution: `leap-seconds.list`.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm in the process of porting Hare (
https://harelang.org/ ) to NetBSD and Hare's `time` module requires this
file. I know I can fetch the file while building the package in pkgsrc,
but I figured I can make this small ask and maybe make packaging a
little easier for myself.
This file has some overlap with the contents of
`/usr/share/zoneinfo/leapseconds`, but the leap seconds in
`leap-seconds.list` are available as NTP timestamps instead of
year/month/date/hours/minutes/seconds.
If compatibility is a concern, here's where some other OSes store the file:
OpenBSD: /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list
Debian: /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list
FreeBSD: /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list
Thanks,
Mallory
