Subject: Incorrect leap seconds in runit's log timestamps
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 14:07:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <von2c2xaqa.ln2@hippo.asfast.net> (raw)

I'm still using runit-1.0.3 (will upgrade soon).

I have just noticed that leap seconds are not properly being accounted for in the timestamps in the log/main/current files for each process that I'm managing.  These timestamps seem to be 11 seconds off from UTC and 10 seconds off from TAI in the other direction.

I believe that TAI and UTC are 21 seconds apart these days, although a while ago, the discrepancy was only 11 seconds.  This leads me to believe that the 11-second offset might have been hard coded into an early version of runit, and then never was changed.

Or am I missing something?

Also, when I upgrade to the latest version of runit, will this leap-second discrepancy change, by any chance?

Thanks in advance.
