Hi Folks,
how do you handle the change from standard time to daylight saving time?
We are using LotusNotes 6.5.1 and Wine 20041019 on Kubuntu 5.10
Breezy Badger. This is the combination where we experienced the least
amount of Bugs.
Our hosts run UTC on the hardwareclock and live in the timezone
Europe/Vienna, which will change from CET to CEST on sunday.
Tests have shown, that calendar entries will get shifted one hour
after DST started. If you open an entry there is an info, that the event
is located in a different timezone.
From a Windows point of view this is perfectly normal, because
Windows changes the hwclock to the new version of localtime on every DST
event. It doesn't change the timezone it lives in because there is no
need to.
Linux on the other hand takes care about DST in software. (compare
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TimePrecision-HOWTO/index.html )
And so LotusNotes gets confused. You can even create the time shift
effect, if you change the timezone using tzconfig on the fly.
This is very annoying and I cannot imagine there is no viable
solution out there ...
I am a bit confused. I assume that this worked correctly in previous
years when the time shifted. So I assume this is a problem where Linux
has been updated so that it knows the new time change dates, but Wine is
still using the old ones. Does that sound right?
I don't think anyone here is going to be able to help with Wine from
2004, so I think you are going to need to find out where Wine from that
vintage keeps the timezone info, and modify it. I know that MS provides
the utility tzedit.exe for changing the timezone info in Windows2k.
Maybe it will work on Wine?
