Hi, As we (hopefully) all know on 30th of June we'll observe leap second. tzdata information was updated in release 2015a in January. This version was imported in FreeBSD HEAD (r279706), 10-STABLE (r279707), 9-STABLE (r279708) and 8-STABLE (r279709) on 6th of March. Since then there were no releases and therefore users of _supported_ releases don't have tzdata information about incoming leap second. RedHat published a very detailed guide about that: https://access.redhat.com/articles/15145. I believe that FreeBSD Project should issue Errata Notices for all supported version with update to share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list file. This also means update to 8.4-R that will be supported till the last (and leap) second of 30th of June. Pawel. -- One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
