Local time in RCS is set to GMT not PST
I fear this question will be booted as off-topic, but since there appears to be no RCS forum, I'll try it anyway. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and use RCS. According to System-settings -> Date & Time I'm on Pacific time. However, when I archives files using the ci command which is part of RCS, and the -zLT flag, the time stamp is GMT. Presumably, ci is getting this from somewhere on my system?
(Edited 9/23) I should have mentioned originally that I didn't have this problem till moving to 14.04. As a clue, before that I used dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to change time zones when I traveled. Now, for some reason this no longer works, and I have to use timedatectl set-time to accomplish the same thing. I suspect that that may be what's causing the trouble

Environment variables? I'd start looking here: .
UNIX and its children use UTC as the system time and then set the offset from that through a $TIMEZONE, $TZ or similar variable.
