Fix timezone list on linux
This is a patch against release 3.3
I patched the file to look for /etc/localtime and for linux to read the directory entries in zoneinfo if zone.tab isn't present. I've included my patch file. I must admit that my knowledge about timezones is limited, so I was wondering about this line:
- if((f = fopen("/etc/timezone", "r")) != NULL) {
+ if((f = fopen("/etc/localtime", "r")) != NULL) {
Is there no Linux distro using /etc/timezone these days?
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list. This is fixed in KDE4, it uses kdelibs which has all the platform-dependant code. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.2.3-20 OS: Linux I see in koprefsdialog.cpp that the current timezone is read from /etc/timezone however I don't have an /etc/timezone file. I have /etc/localtime which is what is mentioned in the man page for tzset. It then uses: f = popen("grep -e ^[^#] /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | cut -f 3","r"); to get a list of time zone names. I also do not have a zone.tab file in that directory but a list of timezone files. We also install most of linux on a readonly afs filesystem which supports multiple os configurations under the same path. This means everything in usr/share/zoneinfo is a symbolic link. This comes into play when you use things like "find" which the Solaris code within the function does. In that case you have to pass "-follow" to find.
