Description of problem: Meeting invitations sent using KOrganizer to Outlook users (or received from Outlook users) do not reflect the recent change in daylight savings time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdepim-3.5.6-0.2.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Kontact, configure the current time zone to be America/New_York. 2. Have someone using a different calendar program send you a meeting invitation. 3. Accept said invitation using Kontact. 4. Note that the meeting time is one hour later than it is supposed to be. Actual results: Meeting invite is imported as if the current time zone is EST. Expected results: Meeting invite should be imported using EDT. Additional info: I believe this is due to incorrect timezone information in the ics files installed by kdepim. There is a very long description of the related libical problem here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301363 (see, for example, comment #53) Note that the file /usr/share/apps/libical/zoneinfo/America/New_York.ics contains RRULE entries that show daylight savings time as beginning the first Sunday of April, rather than the second Sunday in March (if I understand the syntax of this file, that is): BEGIN:DAYLIGHT ... RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=4;BYDAY=1SU
