djbwares version 4



In celebration of the forthcoming leap second, djbwares is now at version 4.

I've added in the rest of M. Bernstein's public domain libtai library, parts of which were already included by some of the tools. This has added the easter, nowutc, and yearcal commands, which are packaged up alongside libtai.a, the libtai C language headers, and the libtai manual pages in a new libtai package.

More importantly, it has added the leapsecs command, and the /usr/local/etc/leapsecs.dat file is now generated from leapsecs.txt rather than included as a binary in the source as it was before. The sharp-eyed will also note that support for /usr/local/etc/leapsecs.dat (as an alternative to /etc/leapsecs.dat for systems that like non-operating system files in /usr/local/etc) has also been added. The leapsecs.txt is the Bernstein 2015-06-30 version (which is still the latest published by M. Bernstein) patched with the forthcoming leap second.

The libtai package does not include /usr/local/etc/leapsecs.dat . Rather, that is packaged in a separate leapsecs package, to allow updated versions to be substituted with ease when they come along, as well as to permit installing only that without the rest of libtai.
