.gov zone file downloads stale since November 16?
I am getting strange results where if I download a zone file from the browser after logging into the ICANN acount, I get yesterday's version as expected, yet the scripted downloads pick up a .gz that when extracted has a file dated November 16 and a serial in the vicinity of that date's epoch count: 1700092762 (2023-11-15 23:59:22) I did a browser download three days ago and it gave me: 1702261500 (2023-12-11 02:25:00) Today's download via the browser gives me: 1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00) That raises a few questions: 1) Why is the regular download stuck in November? 2) Why is the website download unaffected? 3) Recent downloads give me a consistent time stamp for the time of day which is different from the stuck version, which is just before midnight. What changed there? Is it just me or can anybody else confirm this observation? Can we please fix this *and* add robust monitoring so that broken updates generate an alert! Joe SURBL

That's approximately the time of the transition of the .gov registry from Verisign to Cloudflare. The git log from CISA shows: commit ee3fe5a5828e2c6d13e6cee55ec05f478c150798 (HEAD -> master, o2/main) Author: Cameron Dixon <cameron.dixon@cisa.dhs.gov> Date: Tue Dec 12 15:26:35 2023 -0500 Update gov.txt commit c456fbfb036a52f0be724d3aad0f48b6f90e5220 Merge: 988e573 77895a1 Author: Cameron Dixon <cameron.dixon@cisa.dhs.gov> Date: Fri Dec 8 16:39:59 2023 -0500 Merge pull request #108 from cisagov/8-dec-zone Update zone file post-registry transition commit 77895a12d67c64575d16607c49c19746d4fd885c Author: Cameron Dixon <cameron.dixon@cisa.dhs.gov> Date: Fri Dec 8 16:23:16 2023 -0500 Update gov.txt commit 988e57384a790aa90c4ac6b0005edbdb678256ff Author: Cameron Dixon <cameron.dixon@cisa.dhs.gov> Date: Thu Nov 16 16:52:39 2023 -0500 Update gov.txt commit 509ce8b0233ea27ff898fda8200382359a5c87dc Merge: 422b98b f4ab233 Author: Cameron Dixon <cameron.dixon@cisa.dhs.gov> Date: Wed Nov 15 06:00:15 2023 -0500 Merge pull request #105 from cisagov/signveri Update current-full.csv, a final cut FWIW, today's .gov file from CZDS shows some new data. -- Viktor.
While .gov zone is available from CZDS due to parties wanting to do the right thing, .gov is not a gTLD, so ICANN can’t establish the SLAs they have for gTLDs. So if this issue is not solved, you might need to reach out to https://www.gao.gov/ . Rubens

I did a browser download three days ago and it gave me: 1702261500 (2023-12-11 02:25:00)
Today's download via the browser gives me:
1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00)
That raises a few questions: 1) Why is the regular download stuck in November? 2) Why is the website download unaffected? 3) Recent downloads give me a consistent time stamp for the time of day which is different from the stuck version, which is just before midnight. What changed there?
Is it just me or can anybody else confirm this observation?
Can we please fix this *and* add robust monitoring so that broken updates generate an alert!

Indeed: https://github.com/cisagov/dotgov-data -- Viktor.
Dear Joe, We have verified today's .gov zone file (via CZDS browser and API), and both files show the serial 1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00). Could you please try again and let us know if the issue is still present on your side? -- Victor Figueroa ICANN On 12/13/23, 11:54 PM, "gtld-tech on behalf of Joe Wein via gtld-tech" <gtld-tech-bounces@icann.org <mailto:gtld-tech-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of gtld-tech@icann.org <mailto:gtld-tech@icann.org>> wrote: I am getting strange results where if I download a zone file from the browser after logging into the ICANN acount, I get yesterday's version as expected, yet the scripted downloads pick up a .gz that when extracted has a file dated November 16 and a serial in the vicinity of that date's epoch count: 1700092762 (2023-11-15 23:59:22) I did a browser download three days ago and it gave me: 1702261500 (2023-12-11 02:25:00) Today's download via the browser gives me: 1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00) That raises a few questions: 1) Why is the regular download stuck in November? 2) Why is the website download unaffected? 3) Recent downloads give me a consistent time stamp for the time of day which is different from the stuck version, which is just before midnight.
