In case anyone's evolution is f'd.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=83954
the changes have been committed, just not sent out yet... so you may need to parse/update your own respective .ics file. Restart evolution and it seems to work.\
[edit] although it seems to screw up all your re-occurring appointments until after the old "DST" date... any thoughts?
[edit] seems that it's only for re-occuring apts though

I haven't found the solution for recurring meetings yet.
I have made the same change in my calendar.ics file for the DST change, as well as the change in global settings file.
(insert long rant about Evolution and quality here) I also don't understand why Evolution needs its own timezone files. Shouldn't it use the system files that everyone updated last year? |

The problem with the recurring meetings is that the meetings are set with the timezone information in the calendar.ics file not referencing a specific time zone file.
The solution is to do some search-and-replace in your calendar.ics file.
First, from the timezone file that you modified in /usr/share/evolution-data-server*/..., look for a line like: | Code: | | TZID:/softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/America/New_York |
and then in the calendar.ics file (probably in ~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/), look for all references to 'TZID=(GMT-..' and change them be 'TZID=/softwarestudio.org/...' (whatever that tag from above was).
Then restart, and all is well.
Now that I've done that, it looks like I have a bunch of copies of timezone defintions in my calendar.ics file. You can probably fix this by fixing all of those definitions. Search for all the tags and make the same change as in the global .ics file.
Anyway, it's probably just as well to have all the meetings referencing the same timezone definition. I pulled out all the VTIMEZONE entries from my calendar.ics file, and everything seems to be working. |
