I wonder why 20 years ago the ambiguity of timezone and DST was not written to configuration on disk, so that we could just tolerate a hwclock set to current local time? And now I wonder why we ignore the UEFI spec which rather clearly expects the hwclock to be set to current local time, and includes timezone and DST information with GetTime() and SetTime(). -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
