I don't understand this. If vfat keeps local time, then that local time should be used as local time. The user knows that it is local time. For example if vfat localtime indicates 2012-07-15 16:31:00 it should be translated and implemented as 2012-07-15 16:31:00 in linux, independently from time zone and daylight saving time. And I, the user know if I look at the file's timestamp, that the given picture was taken in Japan last summer, and the timestamp indicates Japanase summer local time. And that is what I need. The computer does not have to know which local time it is and it doe not not have to change it.
Several years ago, I used to work at IBM Canada. I could log into domains across the country. One side effect was my computer clock changed as I connected to domains in different time zones. These were OS/2 servers, but the same problem occurs with Windows. Time & date should always be in UTC and then adjusted for local time, as is the case with Linux & Unix. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
