Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-6
Severity: normal
Evolution correctly exports meetings in a different timezone to
webcalendar, but when imorted back the meeting moves to current
timezone. As a result meetings that are +7 from your timezone end up
offset by 7 hours on reimport.
Suggestion - while the current export is correct, based on experience
with "other" groupware suites exporting while preserving timezone is a
recepy for disaster. The times on export should be recomputed to UTC and
exported as such. That way it is guaranteed to work.
