Status
------

This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDE Runtime, KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and John Layt.


Repository: kde-runtime


Description
-------

Originally I wanted to port KTimeZoned 1:1 to Qt5/KF5, but then I found out that all \
the stuff KTZD was doing was added in QTimeZone, that includes reading correct system \
files/env variables to obtain the timezone and returning the proper system zone (KTZD \
did all this by itself). It also doesn't need to parse the timezone files itself or \
watch for their changes as QTimeZone objects are not stored.

So now it's just a thin module watching /etc/timezone (used by Debian-based distros) \
and /etc/localtime (used by eg. Fedora or Suse, but also by Debian in conjunction \
with /etc/timezone) for changes and if it detects a change, it checks if the new \
timezone is really different and if it is, it sends out a DBus signal \
"timeZoneChange". I changed it from "configChanged" as I think "timeZoneChanged" \
makes way more sense.

I didn't touch the Windows part as I have no way to test, would be nice if someone \
could help with that.

EDIT: I removed the other two DBus signals which were not used and I'm unsure KTZD is \
the correct place for that now anyway. The only usage in KSystemTimeZone can be \
replaced by own KDirWatch instance.

Testing
-------

Tested by changing the timezone in different ways, change was detected and signalled \
out.


Thanks,
