... and it was improperly filed against gpsd and should be removed anyway.

This is a new interface for me. I see now that there is a bug list section as well that might be a more proper place for this report.  Is there a way to move this item to the bug list?

Greetings,  I am using gpsd with indilib.  The INDI drivers for the gps functions pull the timezone offset from gpsd, and it is 1 hour off of where it should be.  In my case, it returns a -6 when in CDT, it should return a -5.  Another user on the indi forum reported this issue as well, and it turns out there is a math function that may not be necessary.

Here is the link to the thread:

http://www.indilib.org/forum/general/2004-help-with-gpsd.html?start=12#16715

In particular, the response from jpaana that calls out this section of code as not necessary:

    // adjust offset for DST
    if (local->tm_isdst)
        offset -= 1;
