Thunderbird lighting calender and DST for Israel

2011-08-15 Thread Ohad Levy
Hi,

What is the current work around to using calender with Thunderbird?
I've followed the very long bug thread [1] , but its not clear at all of how
to use it.
My current work around is to change the TZ to cario, but I'm sure that wont
work well on the days near DST changes.

thanks,
Ohad

Did you try the work around suggested in the bug?

Try using http://www.dotanmazor.com/files/timezones.sqlite to replace your
own DB.

I meant to be harsh, not offensive. What did I assume incorrectly? I
didn't assume anything, all the facts that I mention are referred to

Emacs. I believe none of the people present there ever used it.

As for the actual criticism, when you've shown that you understood WHY
the decisions were taken (documented in my blog), then you can make
constructive suggestions how to make it better. Until then, you are just
a joker who throws stones from afar.

For the record, Shai Berger also did not like some of the decisions. He
asked to be attend personally, got his wish, made his case, got focused
responses, and was satisfied that it couldn't have been done better.

It is possible that things could be done better, but uninformed
criticism like yours shows little more than ignorance, and does little
to get us there (assuming it's possible).
