Subject: Re: TZ ignored by (display-time)
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:09:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47DAB165.9090300@f2s.com> (raw)

The problem seems to be caused by the new display-time-world
functionality, so this bug shouldn't affect Emacs 22.
When time.el is loaded, the following code clobbers the internal
timezone setting:
(defcustom display-time-world-list
;; Determine if zoneinfo style timezones are supported by testing that
;; America/New York and Europe/London return different timezones.
(let (gmt nyt)
(set-time-zone-rule "America/New York")
(setq nyt (format-time-string "%z"))
(set-time-zone-rule "Europe/London")
(setq gmt (format-time-string "%z"))
(set-time-zone-rule nil)
According to the documentation for set-time-zone-rule, it should set the
timezone back to the local timezone when the argument is nil. But it
doesn't seem to take note of the TZ environment variable when it does this.
