[Iain Lane (laney)]

Some IRC chat reveals that a good option to read the initial state is to get this from /etc/timezone on disk directly, then use dbus after that.

Avoid nested GMainLoops by reading from the file on startup

Restore some tests for this functionality.

425. By Iain Lane on 2015-09-03

Make test-live-actions quit itself once the tz has been changed, the mock no longer does this

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Updated - please re-review.

Is taking a reference to the GDBusConnection sane? Without it the testsuite kills the connection and the AddMatch fails, which causes some criticals.

(process:12769): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Error while sending AddMatch() message: The connection is closed

(process:12769): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_call_finish_internal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

Maybe we don't care or there's a better way to ensure this can't fail?

[Lars Karlitski (larsu)]

Thanks for working on this!

It's causing some unnecessary bus traffic though:

 - watch org.freedesktop.timedate1
 - call GetProperties and fetch all properties of that object
 - subscribe to PropertiesChanged of all properties instead of just the one

Really all you need here is to add a match rule for PropertiesChanged for that *one* property you're interested in. Using g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe() results in only one call to the daemon and you'll only get signals when the property you're interested in changes.

(By the way, the name_vanished() handler is called immediately when the name doesn't exist. Currently it's spewing some GObject warnings because you're trying to access the proxy without checking it for NULL. However, don't fix this if you stop watching the name anyway)

review: Needs Fixing

[Iain Lane (laney)]

There is no point in reviewing this.

I'm not working on this change. Get it in some other way.

Rename FileTimezone to TimedatedTimezone

421. By Iain Lane on 2015-09-01

Add a timeout so we can't hang forever

420. By Iain Lane on 2015-08-31

Use timedated's Timezone property instead of watching /etc/timezone

Still need to rename everything to not use "timezone-file"
