In case this saves someone else some headscratching---or engenders some:
I'm running 0.18.1 in a Breezy that hasn't been updated from the repos
in at least a year (e.g., I deliberately held back on ever updating it
so I didn't have to be constantly recompiling ivtv, lirc, etc every
time it took a kernel update). The machine is correctly running on
the new DST (accomplished by downloading the new data files and doing
"zic northamerica" and then changing /etc/localtime and timezone from
Ubuntu's "US"-based stuff to the "America"-based stuff).
Recordings are being made at the right time.
However---I just discovered that scheduling a manual recording via
Mythweb does something odd---if I schedule a recording for 23:10, when
I click "Create schedule", the form that gets immediately echoed back
to me has magically changed the start time to 00:10. The subtitle
that's automatically generated still says 23:10, though, and the FE
also claims the recording will happen at 23:10, and in fact it -does-
happen at 23:10. The files are named correctly, too. This is
absolutely repeatable and never used to happen.
I saw chatter here that PHP may have its own DST routines that might
need updating, but I don't know where those might be. (And, frankly,
if this is the -only- symptom, I might leave it alone, since the
machine will be updated to Dapper and a newer Myth within the year.)
The rest of Mythweb seems to be operating correctly, e.g., the status
& schedules pages, etc.
So I dunno if this is fixed in a more-recent mythweb and/or a
more-recent PHP, but it might be something to watch out for.
