Time zone info

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

My Linux TZ variable is set to Australia/NSW and I'm getting a
bunch of fixmes like this:

fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone
    information in the registry for bias -600, std (d/m/y):
    6/04/2008, dlt (d/m/y): 5/10/2008

I've seen this post to this mailing list:

http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-March/052474.html

so I understand that this timezone info is in the file tools/wine.inf.

Whats the policy on adding things to this file and how does one go
about it?

Cheers,
Erik

Looks like timezone info in your Linux system is not up to date.

P.S.
Please do not use "Reply-To:" header when posting wine-devel.

Another possibility is that you need to re-run wineprefixcreate to update
time zone information in the registry.

That fixed it. Thanks.

Sorry, I have every reason to believe it is correct. On what basis
do you suggest that it is not?

I'm sorry, but why not? Isn't that the bext way to indicate
that I would prefer to have replies sent to the list rather
than directly to me?

Because replies are always supposed to go to the list anyway, it's 
rather redundant.

Then where's the harm? Besides that it perhaps doesn't do what you want,
see http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html for a good explanation.
