487865 - Exporting bugs in XML format uses non-unique timezones (they cannot be imported back)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bug Import/Export & Moving, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

Attachment: patch, v1

Named timezones, such as CET, MSK or EST, are not always unique, and strptime() is unable to parse dates with such timezones if it doesn't recognize them. So we have to fix show.xml.tmpl to not export bugs using named timezones, but to export bugs using the +0100, +0300 or -0600 notation.

I also fix format_time() to remove the unrecognized timezone if it's unable to parse the given date. If parsing fails again, then the date is really not valid and we give up.

This patch is required to correctly fix bug 486006.
