Update the leap file url (!14) · Merge requests · CDS / software / gpstime

Rhys Poulton requested to merge rhys.poulton/gpstime:update_leap_file_url into master Oct 27, 2023

The leapfile from IETF is no longer available, so I have updated the URL to get it from the International Earth Rotation and reference systems Service (IERS), which is the institution that decides when a leapsecond is to be added in the UTC timescale (https://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/earthor/utc/leapsecond.html).

I have also updated all variables with 'IETF' in the name to 'IERS' to avoid confusion.

This merge request resolves #19 (closed)
