[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#352876: mailman: Wrong timezone in list archive index pages

[Roger Lynn]

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8sarge1
Severity: normal


The timezone used on the list archive index pages for the starting, 
ending, last message and archived on dates is wrong. All these 
times are given in GMT (the standard timezone for the UK) but are 
claimed to be BST (British Summer Time, the daylight saving time used 
between March and October, equivalent to GMT+1).

For example, the last message to one of my lists was sent at Fri, 10 Feb 
2006 10:07:40 +0000, but according to the archives by thread page, the 
ending and last message dates are "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 BST 2006". The 
timezone is correct in the archive page for the message though, where it 
is given as "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 GMT 2006"

The times given during the summer are correct, where everything is in 
BST. The clock on this machine is correct, and can be verified from the 
headers of this message. I have checked that this problem also occurs  
with a clean install of 2.1.7-1 backported to another Sarge box.

Thanks for your work on this package,

Roger
