Description of problem: When you select 'New Zealand' as a timezone (Locale Preferences), then check anything that shows a timestamp, the timezone is displayed as 'WFT'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHN Satellite 2. Select New Zealand in Locale preferences for a user 3. Actual results: the timezone is displayed as 'WFT'. Expected results: Should display as 'NZDT', during daylight saving periods, and 'NZST' during all others Additional info: - It just so happens that Pacific/Wallis (WFT) is the only zone in New Zealand that does not have daylight saving. - A limitation of the Satellite right now is that it cannot display the massive number of Time Zones available world wide, so we have a small subset of the zones available. The specific zones chosen must have been decided based on some selection criteria I think. Hence Pacific/Wallis is probably a good choice for New Zealand wide as it won't involve DST at all. - To add a new zone to be available in the drop down menu on the Satellite we need to add it in : /*schema/rhn/tables/rhnTimezone_data.sql for example: insert into rhnTimezone (id, olson_name, display_name) values (rhn_timezone_id_seq.nextval, 'Pacific/Auckland', 'New Zealand(NZST-NZDT)'); As well as add the strings lookup so the entry is displayed nicely in the menu by editing the file in source: java/rhn/rhn-common/src/main/resources/com/redhat/rhn/frontend/strings/database/StringResource_en_US.xml ie : <trans-unit id="Pacific/Auckland"> <source>(GMT+1200) New Zealand(NZST-NZDT)</source> <context-group name="ctx"> <context context-type="sourcefile">/rhn/account/UserDetails</context> </context-group> </trans-unit>
