Bug 232500

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #232113 +++

Description of problem:
All evolution calendar appointments are reporting as 1 hour later that they
actually occur.

They all seem to have timezone information such as 
GMT -0500 (Standard) / GMT -0400 (Daylight)

Any calendar appointments I have that use the America/New York timezone work
properly.  If I turn off timezone adjustment in my settings all of the
America/New York appointments are now incorrect and the ones from Exchange are
correct.

I am using the evolution-data-server-1.8.3-4.fc6 in updates-testing.

I'm aware of the problem and am already tracking it in the upstream bug you
referenced.   Closing this as UPSTREAM so that incoming details are centralized.

Shouldn't this bug remain open until the upstream fix is packaged and deployed
to updates?

The problem is not Exchange-specific.  Adjusting summary to collect dupes.

Changing component to evolution-data-server.

Matt it may be a good idea to reopen this bug so people will find it searching
bugzilla and not open duplicates.  The default search doesn't include closed bugs.

Good point.  I'll leave it open for the time being.

Has anyone actually read the upstream report comments?  Comments #44, #53, #55,
#57, #58 upstream seem to be the key.  Based on information there, what I did
was the following (actually, not quite, put I'm pretty sure these are the key
steps):

(1) Update evolution-data-server.  (Note that nothing in your local calendar
database changes as a result of this, so you can always back out if necessary.)

(2) Edit my local calendar database in
${HOME}/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics. (Back it up first!) Look
for lines starting with "DTSTART;" and "DTEND;".  The following line is a
timestamp.  For every  DTSTART and DTEND with a corresponding timestamp in 2007,
replace the string "Olson_20011030_5" with "Olson_20070227_6".

(3) Restart Evo with "evolution --force-shutdown".

Then the reopen your calendar.  The appointments in the gap are now at the
correct time, and they display at the correct time in the clock applet's
calendar.  Also, the pushpin icon that appeared on each incorrect entry is gone.

Some things I didn't have to deal with:

- I'm not connecting to an exchange server yet, so I didn't need to fix shared
calendar entries.  Based on the comments, I think you need to accept them, then
edit your calendar file.

- I didn't have recurring appts made before 2007 that persist past the TZ
change.  I would guess that you can make the above change to those as long as
you don't care if they appear correcty in old years.  Otherwise, you probably
need to delete those and re-enter them.

Also, I am not sure if there is any "fix" that can be provided upstream.  The
changes I made above can be scripted, but they must be run by each Evo user. 
Providing the script seems to be the most that upstream could do.
