leapseconds-announced is a pragmatic, if imperfect, improvement over my past practices. It provides a LeapSecondTable with all leap seconds announced to date (hence the name). Once the IERS announces[3] another leap second the package will need an update and all code using it a recompile. While this precludes its use in long-running production applications it is eminently adequate for my one-off uses or for applications that can afford to recompile infrequently.

You should consider using the tz database, which provides a leap-seconds table in the "right/UTC" timezone (and much other useful information). -- Ashley Yakeley
