[pmg-devel] [RFC log-tracker] rfc3339: move timezone offset compatibility code to

[Stoiko Ivanov]

Thanks for the patch!

looks ok - but as talked off-list and also hinted in the api-patch reply I
sent - if possible we could maybe get rid of the issue that the
start+endtime provided in the GUI is interpreted differently than the
current option, which is yet again different to what I'd expect:
Testcase is '2023-09-21 13:52' as starttime '2023-09-21 15:00' as endtime
* with both patches applied the first mail shown is from 15:52 (offset +2h)
* with the currently released version the first mail is shown is from
  14:52 (offset +1h)
* I personally would expect no offset ;)
potentially we could not consider the client's timezone too much - and
define that the results are based on the server's timezone (or more
correctly on what's actually written in the logs)
If we want to consider the timezone of the client we should account for DST
i.e. if the client is currently (in February) in CET, that they would've
been in CEST in September - but I think that might be quite too much of a
hassle - and the break of displaying one time in the information line vs.
another in the actual logs sounds confusing

please adapt the tests for the next version

if possible - get this information also into the subject line (70
character limit)
