[katello-devel] time in date during sync plan creation

[Dmitri Dolguikh]

Hey everybody,

Came across of this bit of code in SyncPlansController#convert_date_time:

     sync_event = date + ' ' + time + ' '  + DateTime.now.zone

We cannot assume that the server and the client reside in the same 
timezone - the end result of this is the client has no idea when (or 
what day for that matter) the sync is going to be executed. We probably 
have a similar issue when showing the times too (haven't checked).

Timezone information has to come from the client. When showing time back 
to the client, we either: have to convert it to their time zone, or show 
it relative to UTC.

Should I add a story to the backlog for this?
