Hello! I have a meeting in my Evolution calendar which I synchronize with SyncEvolution. I noticed that the outgoing VEVENT has start and end time converted to UTC times which are one hour off.
Here's the stripped down event: BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Ximian//NONSGML Evolution Calendar//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:GMT Standard Time BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:16010101T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=10 END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:16010101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:test event DTSTART;TZID=GMT Standard Time:20100421T150000 DTEND;TZID=GMT Standard Time:20100421T160000 UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000000B5A586D0A4CA01000000000000000010 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20100415T035521Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR This is parsed into a field list as follows: - 18 : timestamp DTSTART [ 0, 0, 0] : 2010-04-21T15:00:00Z (TZ: UTC) - 19 : timestamp DTEND [ 0, 0, 0] : 2010-04-21T16:00:00Z (TZ: UTC) And then encoded like this when sent to the server: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//Synthesis AG//NONSGML SyncML Engine V3.4.0.6//EN BEGIN:VEVENT STATUS:CONFIRMED LAST-MODIFIED:20100421T071812Z DTSTAMP:20100421T071905Z CREATED:20100415T065234Z UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000000B5A586D0A4CA01000000000000000010 CLASS:PUBLIC TRANSP:OPAQUE PRIORITY:5 SUMMARY:test event DTSTART:20100421T150000Z DTEND:20100421T160000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR The correct start time in UTC is 14:00, because this "GMT Standard Time" VTIMEZONE has a 1 hour offset during summer saving time. The event was created by Outlook. Any idea how that happens? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ os-libsynthesis mailing list os-libsynthesis@synthesis.ch http://lists.synthesis.ch/mailman/listinfo/os-libsynthesis
