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.

Testing
-------

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


Thanks,
