Hello, Emacs manual states that to change the start or end of daylight savings time from the default value (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA), one has to change the values of calendar-daylight-savings-starts and calendar-daylight-savings-ends. However, all my attempts to do so are failing. I am using the call of emacs (version 24.2.1), "runemacs --no-splash --no-site-file", and the following simple init.el file:
START OF FILE (load "cal-dst") (setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts '(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 3 year)) ;(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts nil) (setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends '(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 10 year)) ;(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends nil) (setq calendar-daylight-time-offset 60) (setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts-time 180) (setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends-time 180) END OF FILE after which I evaluated the form (format-time-string "%H:%M ") None of the two values seen above (one of which is commented out) result in any change (I always get the Cambridge, Massachusetts version). Can someone, please, tell me what I am doing wrong?
