Require that the time zone is set to UTC on pipelines #407

Closed JustAnotherArchivist closed 5 years ago

JustAnotherArchivist commented 5 years ago

While the WARC files record the UTC date, log timestamps and filenames use the local timezone (but without any TZ indication). This discrepancy can be confusing and is completely unnecessary.

Pipeline operators, if you really must keep the time zone on your systems at some offset which is ambiguous once per year (DST), export TZ=UTC before running the pipeline.
