[gnutls-devel] tests/cert-tests/template-test is timezone sensitive

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Sorry, was cut in the middle.

See:

$ TZ=GMT+2 datefudge "2015-01-01" date -u
Thu Jan  1 02:00:00 UTC 2015
$ TZ=GMT+0 datefudge "2015-01-01" date -u
Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 UTC 2015

Probably issue of datefudge of using localtime... The test should
enforce a specific TZ, currently it is UTC-2.

However, even if done so, the certificates are generated with
different signature.

Example for test1:

$ TZ=UTC-2 ./template-test

I am unsure what was the exact intention.
