Hello Andy,
does that mean I have to fix EPICS_TIMEZONE every year?
Our CA clients have been built with R3.13.2 and EPICS_TIMEZONE is not
mentioned in base/config/. Will that environment variable work with our
clients?
Browsing the 3.13.2 code, I could only find TIMEZONE in drvTS.c and that
is vxWorks code. How is the client software affected by this? Aren't
EPICS time stamps time zone independent?

Hi Dirk,
I'm not sure which EPICS release you're using but I noticed this
in 3.14.1:
base/configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV
# Time service:
# EPICS_TIMEZONE needed for vxWorks
# EPICS_TIMEZONE=<name>::<minutesWest>:<start daylight>:<end daylight>
# DST for 2003 US: Apr 6 - Oct 26
# EU: Mar 30 - Oct 26
EPICS_TIMEZONE=GMT::0:033003:102603
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
when daylight saving time started this spring, I noticed that time
stamps hadn't been displayed correctly. I wodered if CA didn't support
daylight saving and changed EPICS_TS_MIN_WEST from -60 to -120. But now,
the time is out of sync again. Obviously EPICS does support daylight
saving time but uses other start (and end?) dates than we do in Europe.
What do I have to configure to make EPICS use the correct daylight
saving time?
