I'm just wondering how the eZ Publish team will address this "problem." If it is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings, why does the code seem to automatically do this (that is, rely on the system's timezone settings)? Surely, there must be a better way to handle this.
Btw, from what I've read on the net, eZ Publish seems to be the hands-down winner among the CMSs with regards to features and usability! So, double-thumbs up to the eZ Publish team! Thanks for making this open source! :)
Read this thread for other ways to set timezone: http://ez.no/developer/forum/install_configuration/timezone_on_php5_unstabel_version_solved
4.0beta introduced the possibility to set it from site.ini for those that don't have access to apache / php config files, this is also explained in the above url.
