Description Hugues Fournier 2005-10-30 20:37:56 UTC

A leap second will take place on December 31st at 23:59:60 UTC. It has been   
decided on the July 4th, 2005 by the International Earth Rotation and   
Reference Systems Service.  
See: http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eoppc/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat 
And for more information, 
http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/earthor/utc/leapsecond.html 
 
  
timezone/leapseconds has been updated upstream on the CVS HEAD and the 2.3  
BRANCH. 
See: 
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/timezone/leapseconds?cvsroot=glibc 
(version 1.11 for HEAD and 1.8.4.3 for the 2.3 BRANCH, in fact identical) 
 
In order to take this coming leap second into account, it would be wise to  
backport this version in all glibc ebuilds. 

Reproducible: Always
