Hello!
The easiest way for the xfs is just to work in UTC and return UTC timestamps. The kernel do all conversion calculations for Fxattr() and Fstat64(), the xfs is not affected at all.Right. Now say New York FreeMiNT users without timezone set properly will report us that the timestamp in HostFS is wrong by +6* hours. And
And that means the HostFS and/or FreeMiNT are wrong? If the timezone is set incorrectly it's not task of the HostFS or any other xfs to correct such things ...
even if they manage to set the timezone right in FreeMiNT they can reboot to TOS or MagiC and the 6* hours offset problem is back.
FreeMiNT can handle perfectly a real time clock running in localtime. Just a question of the right configuration at startup. Don't know if you ever noticed this, but here in Germany we have a 1 or 2 hour offset to UTC too ...
