Sure!

They provide the same release tarball on github, and README on both sites state 
that "Dateutils are hosted primarily on github:", so I see no reason to use what 
appears to be the legacy repo at another site, although I would treat them as 
project mirrors if possible.
Looking at latest release downloads they are 50/50 across both sites so far, 
although the signature downloads from github are much higher; see:

The original failure log messages from xargs complained about lack of 
environment space.

I wish - the test runner is very tidy - just the trs and log.

Running standalone from test dir with:

	$ make --trace TESTS=tzmap_check_02.ctst V=1 check

passes with all the usual messages - attached.
