even if this data changes quite often, and is critical for accurate calculations in many fields? tzdata has to be changed quite often in stable releases, due to legislation that changes definitions of timezones, etc. The recent leap second bug should be a warning that keeping time keeping right is critical and that having it duplicated in more than one place is a major pain. this has languished an entire release and I believe it at least needs a justification on why it has not been fixed yet. -- -Shawn Landden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
