[oe] cvs date & timezone problem

[John Lee]

Hi,

we can specify mindate and maxdate to the patch of cvs source now, but
there's one problem: different timezone.

for example, cvs log enlightenment.pc.in

add pkgconfig supprot to e17 itself.
=============================================================================

you can see 2008-03-29 04:53:26 +0800 in Taiwan is actually 03-28 in
UTC.  so Holger kindly put

file://pkgconfig-fix.patch;patch=1;pnum=0;mindate=20080328

in e-wm_cvs.bb

However, if I build the e-wm in Taiwan, `enlightenment.pc.in' does not
exist yet on 20080328 Taiwan time.  The build will fail.

I would suggest set cvs fetch in bitbake to always use UTC+0 for this
matter and we set the min and max date according to UTC+0 instead of
our own timezone.  Enclosed please find the patch to the bitbake 1.8
branch.


Regards,
John
