haiku-os.org renders "-1 days ago" under Source Activity

[Coldfirex]

Using WebPositive when ​https://www.haiku-os.org/ is loaded under the Source Activity tab, it will sometimes display a change as "-1 days ago". If I view t with FF or Chrome at the same time it shows up correctly ("2 hours ago" in this example). Beta 3 RC1 (hrev55181+51) 64bit.

Is your system clock correct? That happens when the commit date is in the future, whatever the browser. Those first commits would be 3 or 4 hours in the future, given the times for the others.

It is possible to change the website to show "just now" instead of "-1 days ago" in that case, but the times for the rest would still be wrong.

[Coldfirex]

Yes, the time is correct on Haiku and my host system. I pulled them up at the same time to compare.

[kallisti5]

sounds like an issue in the code translating timezones.

[madmax]

Yep.

Could you report on the result of loading that test file, and your system time and timezone when you did?

[Coldfirex]

Ran ans screenshot attached that includes results, system time, and host time. Timezone is CST.

Replying to Coldfirex:

Timezone is CST.

But you have Haiku setup as being in GMT time zone, which means its clock is 6 hours in the future (or probably 5 if you are observing DST and you are in fact in CDT now instead of CST).

Please correctly set your timezone in the Time zone tab of the Time preferences. I don't know how VirtualBox shares the clock with the host, you may have to set some option there, or maybe the "Hardware clock set to Local time (Windows compatible)" in the Time preferences is enough.

The fix is replacing gmtime with localtime here: ​https://github.com/haiku/haikuwebkit/blob/haiku/Source/WebCore/loader/FTPDirectoryParser.cpp#L159
