Event time from Evolution calendar is off by 1 hour for Asia/Yekaterinburg

[Ilya Novoselov]

Systems timezones are correct, and Evolution timezone handling is correct too (I sync it with caldav server, and everything works correctly).

It's probably related to recent DST rules changes.

Investigating it little futher, it seems to me that it may actually be bug of evolution data server.

[Ilya Novoselov (ilya-novoselov)]

It is actually bug in libical timezone handling.

Thank you for your bug report and patch to fix it, subscribing ubuntu-sponsors for review

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Thank you for your patch! While the patch applies fine against the new 0.44-3, comments in the upstream bug seem to indicate that something else needs to be done with the patch and as such, I am going to NAK this patch for now.

I suggest working with upstream to get a patch which they accept. At that point we can pull it into Ubuntu. Alternatively, you could try to get this into Debian-- if the Debian developer responsible for ical finds it acceptable, we can then sync it into Ubuntu. If you pursue the Debian route, please link the Debian bug to this report.

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors at this time, subscribing the reporter and marking as In Progress per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews.

Thanks again! :)
