Re: [Freemint-discuss] Mint handling of file timestamps

[Thorsten O. <ad...@th...>]

Some 2 more notes on this:

- if you think you can fix this by calling tzinit with --localtime, or --utc, 
you are wrong: that only affects functions like Tgetdate() and 
Tgettimeofday(). Same for the gmtime config setting in Aranym.

- If you think thats a bug in Teradesk, or Aranym: thats not quite true 
either. That inconsistency will also occur when using only ext2fs filesystems. 
The problem here is that functions like Fstat64() report UTC timestamps (if 
the filesystem supports it, but most do, except tosfs), while eg. Dxreaddir() 
returns the extended information in the old xattr structure, where the 
timestamps are converted to local time, using the global timezone variable.
