Bug Description

Publishing from iCal to SchoolTool 0.11.4,
iCal and SchoolTool both set to Europe/London

ISSUE:
times presented by SchoolTool are one hour ahead of what they should be.

<http://schooltool.freeman-centre.ac.uk/persons/gjp22/calendar/2006-w37> is an
example, yesterday I had lunch with Pete from 12:30 to 14:00 but SchoolTool
presents 13:30 to 15:00.

The issue is not evident in the public view of my calendar. It's evident only
when I log in to SchoolTool.

If it's relevant, at the server (Ubuntu 6.06 server on an iMac):

wca@imac06:~$ date
Wed Sep 13 11:59:22 BST 2006
-- matches the time on the MacBook Pro from which I publish to SchoolTool.

wca@imac06:~$ sudo /sbin/hwclock --systohc --debug
hwclock from util-linux-2.12r
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory.
No usable clock interface found.
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

wca@imac06:~$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2006-09-13 11:41 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/
zoneinfo/Europe/London

in
/etc/default/rcS
UTC=yes

Thanks for any advice.

be nice if someone would finish the code that i have started writing up though,
but at the moment we have different priorities.

I'll share this information with my colleagues who are using iCal to publish to
SchoolTool.

I understand the priorities :-)

Keep up the great work,

Graham
