I just re-built the latest to be sure, but I've been double time-changed since Sat.
My Ubuntu automatically updated its clock 1 hour ahead, and so did XBMC. Now it's stuck at 1 hour ahead of where it's supposed to be. I ended up just telling XBMC that I'm in a different time zone, but that's a pretty lame fix.
Is this happening to anybody else?

Yeah, this is happening to me also. I've tried both internet time sync as well as manually setting the time, but it looks like Linux system time is king.

I am also having daylight savings issues. Ubuntu puts the clock 1 hour ahead for daylight savings and XBMC then puts another hour on. I am UK based GMT, so Ubuntu time is correct but XBMC is 1 hour ahead. I don't want to change Ubuntu time as machine is running MythTV.
Is it possible to disable daylight savings on XBMC linux? There is an option on the XBOX XBMC to turn it off, but this seems to be missing on the Linux port? I've tried to manually set the time in XBMC but this gets ignored.
Thanks.

sounds like xbmc's DST code just needs to be turned off and left to linux to handle. (I assume the xbox doesn't handle DST on it's own)

Yep, definitely broken. Noticed it right away but didn't bother posting.
