Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Henning Westerholt (henningw) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: usrloc permanent records and strptime problem Initial Comment: The actual way of dealing with permanent records in the location DB is not optimal and should be reworked. > The idea was to replace the FL_PERMANENT flag with > the 0 value for expires > - both mean the contact > will never expire. expires is a time_t value. Zero is here defined as 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. But this is not portable for different timezones (at least on mysql), as mysql don't support timezones in datetime columns. For example on my system i need to specify 1970-01-01 01:00:00 to get the usrloc logic working. But daylight changes, or using different timezones will break this again. So i think i'll use just the usrloc expires default 2020-05-28 21:32:15 in my database. Perhaps it makes sense to remove this usrloc permanent contact handling altogether, if its not working stable. This was discussed in the thread at: http://www.nabble.com/usrloc-permanent-records-and-strptime-td17668417.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=743020&aid=1986657&group_id=139143 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.openser.org http://lists.openser.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
