[Building Sakai] [Internationalization] help on setting time zone

[Anand Mehta]

Hi Naira,

It looks like you should be using Etc/GMT-5 according to 
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090707145844AANnghH. I would use 
Asia/Karachi to avoid any confusion and you can set it as a default for your 
Sakai instance by adding it to Java parameters in Tomcat's setevn.sh like this:

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Duser.timezone=Asia/Karachi"


 Thanks,
Anand

what does Etc Means in Time Zone option?? 
I mean When I set Etc/GMT+5 it shows time in Chat room As GMT-5 and a time that 
is 10 hours behind our Standard time :( and when I choose Etc/GMT-5 it shows the 
right time. however in Pakistan we are GMT+5 not -5 :( 

Can someone help me out on This?? 
Is this a bug or I am missing Something??
