"Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" option
safetydan:
There are free databases of time zone data available. The one that most people use is the tzdata collection available from various places and used by almost all opensource systems (and a lot of closed source). So we don't have to maintain our own database, just provide an interface to select the appropriate region and then follow the rules in the database.
Hillshum:
Have rbutil manage the database?

imo ^^ is the only workable solution that doesnt need massive updating...

+1 to a "standard" database file. (said w/o knowing squat about the impact of this method).
As for the database file itself...
I smell a RBUtil job! ;)

Isn't it simple to just implement a summer time sheduler, so that it just adds 1 hour when switching to the summer time, and substracts 1 hour for the winter time.
