How to fix Evolution for 2007 DST Change

[woodgdo1]

Ok, this is a bit late, but as there was no fix released, I made my own. Basically you need to edit the timezone file for your timezone/City in the file: /usr/share/evolution-evolution-data-server-x.x/zoneinfo/America/YourCity.ics

Here is the unified diff for Chicago CST-CDT

could not find such a file so made an own workaround (very simple)

I set the evolution time + 1 hour extra (for me I set gtm +2 hours instead of gtm + 1hour, that I need)

Works.
