DST error still occuring #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
While working on some bugs concerning DST in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373139 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365812
I noticed the VTIMEZONE-settings in google are still incorrect?

Steps to reproduce:
In Google Calendar Beta I set the TZ to Eastern time (+5), created a new
calendar in google, added an event and exported the calendar to ics
(private publish). The TZ is defined as:
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:America/New_York
X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York
BEGIN:STANDARD
TZOFFSETFROM:-0400
TZOFFSETTO:-0500
TZNAME:EST
DTSTART:19701025T020000
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=10;BYDAY=-1SU
END:STANDARD
BEGIN:DAYLIGHT
TZOFFSETFROM:-0500
TZOFFSETTO:-0400
TZNAME:EDT
DTSTART:19700405T020000
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=4;BYDAY=1SU
END:DAYLIGHT
END:VTIMEZONE

which is the old timezone definition. Maybe this has something to do
server-locations as I live in the Netherlands?

Also, google creates invalid ICS-files with timezones which aren't
defined! (see comments in second bug).

There is currently a bug in the VTIMEZONE definitions produced by Google 
Calendar in
both the ICS feeds and the gd:recurrence elements of recurring events.  We are
working on resolving these issues ASAP, along with other issues re 
gd:recurrence parsing.

Sunbird/Lightning is coming close to releasing version 0.5. Do you have a 
timeframe
when this (and possible other critical bugs) will be solved? I expect quite some
people will start using google calendar as an external calendar. Though the 
problem
of the faulty definition won't be a problem until teh second part of october, 
the bug
with the missing TZ-definition could cause bigger problems.

This was resolved - the timezone definitions were corrected.
