org-timestamp-change and timezone

org-timestamp-change and timezone

[Cédric Chépied]

Hi,

Since a couple of days I can't use org-timestamp-change anymore, I got this
error:

setq: Invalid time zone specification: (nil nil nil)

I "fixed" it with this patch but I don't know what I'm doing cause my timezone
is always (nil nil nil) and the encode-time function only wants 'nil'. I hope
this will help people to fix the problem.

Regards,

This is bug#23299.  Some Org developer needs to look at it, IMO.

bug#23299: 25.1.50; org-timestamp-change: Invalid time zone specification: (nil nil nil)

Thanks for reporting the problem. As Eli suggested, it was a typo in org.el that 
was exposed by recent changes to encode-time. I installed into master the 
attached patch, which I think fixes the bug.

old code used local time, so use that.

Hi,

it seems that this is not yet applied to master (or am I mistaken?).
If I'm correct, could someone apply this patch in the Org-mode
repository?

Isn't e0acd8a15a40cb15bd5c5c26c5a345900762c2f1 equivalent?

True - sorry for the noise (I downloaded fresh Org, but forgot to `make'
- stupid me...)
