I agree with the UTC statement (while it might not be written law ;-)). But having MST forces (almost) everyone to do two calculations: one to UTC and one to his local timezone. If it would be given in UTC only the author would have to do the first calculation so it perfectly makes sense to use UTC IMHO. Given that everyone should know his relative difference to UTC offhand while I don't know MST to UTC without some investigation.
Just my 2 ct, Wolfgang
It's a real shame that developers have years of programming code that almost no one uses.
From the command line.. $ date --date="10:00am MST" will tell you *in your local timezone* what time the server will be offline; and.. $ date --date="2:00pm MST" will tell you what time the sever will be back
Then we just have to guess that "mountain time" goes by the acronym MST and all will be well. If I know that, I also know the offset. Regards Oliver -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
