[mythtv-users] Australian daylight saving time puzzle

[Matthew Jurgens]

 I'm not sure that it was just shepherd and yahoo.
My Fedora 8 system correctly followed the new daylight savings schedule 
but during that one week, the time shown on all mythweb pages (right at 
the top) was the incorrect time. So myth has its own daylight savings 
schedule somewhere? It will be interesting to see what happens in 
October when daylight savings comes about 3 weeks earlier than last year.
