Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 11:40:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Peter A. Shevtsov 2009-12-09 09:03:13 UTC
It seems that bug is still actual in Fedora 12

Comment 3 westybsa 2010-09-02 07:06:42 UTC
Have you tried to upgrade to Fedora 13, I believe that Fedora 13 resolved that issue, I was not able to reproduce the issue on the current release of Fedora. Are you still affected by this issue.

emailed person that submitted the bug to try and find out more information. Please see email below for further details. Also advised person to update the bug or email me back with more information.

Dear Mr. Peter Shevtsov

Hello my name is Mark and I am a volunteer with the Fedora Bug Zappers Volunteer Team. I am following up on your bug NOVT time not appearing in the timezone drop down menu in Fedora 12. Since the stable release of Fedora is Fedora 13, I recommend that you upgrade to Fedora 13. Also I was not able to duplicate the issue in Fedora 13. Since I do not want to downgrade to Fedora 12, I need to have you confirm the issue before the bug can be put into the system as confirmed.

Please feel free to update me via email with reference to the bug number in the subject line or by posting more information in the bugzilla system.

Thank you
Mark

attempted again to verify bug is occuring in Fedora 13 and the bug was found not to be occuring. Looks like the issue should be resolved when user upgrades to version 13 but I cannot be sure because the user is probably using a international version. Maybe there is a change when a different language is used as the primary language for the GUI.

Comment 8 Peter A. Shevtsov 2010-09-06 08:22:11 UTC
It seems that this bug is kind of fixed in Fedora 13, but when I type 'Novosibirsk, Russia' it autocompletes 'Omsk Time' (OMSST) timezone instead of 'Novosibirsk Time' (NOVT).

Although the standard Omsk and Novosibirsk time zones are currently identical, each name is still in use depending on context, which is sometimes confusing or even contradictory. The term "Omsk Time" is mostly used in Omsk or when emphasizing the traditional Moscow+3 zone, as in "Tomsk followed Novosibirsk into the Omsk Time Zone". The term "Novosibirsk Time" is more widely used in the remainder of West Siberia, enforced by the common Moscow+4 past.

Issue has not be fixed in version 13 as verified by user. Will have to do further testing to determine exactly what needs to be fixed. Sounds like the issue is partially resolved but to determine exactly what needs to happen, will have to do more testing. Please note comment number 8.

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 14:09:08 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
