            Bug ID: 275737
           Summary: leap-seconds.list location is no longer valid
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mike@jellydonut.org

It appears that the IETF no longer carries the leap-seconds.list file. Both
upgraded and newly-installed instances of FreeBSD are giving me warnings in
/var/log/messages about my installed version's pending expiration on 12/28/23.
In debugging I tried to fetch the file referenced in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
directly (aka -
ntp_leapfile_sources="https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list")
and instead of data I get the following:

ietf.org is no longer serving this file.

I've personally been able to work around it via
ntp_leapfile_sources="https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ntp/leap-seconds.list"
but wanted to alert you all so it can be updated to this or another location,
ideally before expiry.


Thanks for your consideration,
Michael Proto
