Comment 6 for bug 932584

Hi Stuart,

Your analysis looks sound and indeed we have to perform the task scheduling on a consistent set of input data: either we convert all input to UTC before scheduling, or we convert everything to a certain local time and then convert the output back to UTC before persisting into the database.

In any case it seems that have a working time that spans midnight is a possible situation, e.g. teams working in 3x8 shift pattern, so fixing Faces to support it properly is great!

Thanks for providing an in-depth analysis, a corresponding set of patches, and also for the upstream submission!

PS: the patches and related merge proposal still have to be reviewed, but currently the MP seems to contain unrelated changes, see my comment on it.
