Description Harish Krishnaswamy 2007-01-03 04:30:18 UTC 
The timezone information in /usr/share/evolution-data-server-$version/zoneinfo/ is no longer correct and requires updation for -at least - the following :

Iran 
Brazil
Australia

Please add any other inconsistencies that you may be aware of.

This issue is very far reaching for the US.  All of our daylight savings time changed in 2007.  Currently it's still using April 1st 2007 when it should be March 11th 2007.

Here is the fix for New York.  The other US Cities will be similar.

Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-server/+bug/79323

"Binary package hint: evolution-data-server-common

From Bug #72125: Daylight Saving changes in Western Australia

Western Australia is going to be starting a trial of Daylight Saving on December 3, 2006 until March 31, 2007, moving us from UTC+8 to UTC+9 over that time period.

This has been fixed in dapper and edgy in the tzdata package (approved for update to respective updates as at 15/01/07) but the evolution ICS file remains unchanged.

The file that (I believe) requires fixing is:

/usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.8/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth.ics
...
http://librarian.launchpad.net/5745345/Perth.ics
Updated zoneinfo file for Australia/Perth for daylight savings.

BTW, I've updated my local copy of the file /usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.8/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth.ics as per attachement.

I think this is correct (and appears to work), but should be checked.

Cheers,
Daniel."
