dreamatdrewSo, I finally managed to get an up-to-date copy of DW's source, and went about installing.
And... checkconfig tells me no. "Timezone must be UTC."
This is from http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3785 , which specifically added the check because "[t]he code expects system time to be GMT or really weird things happen".
I do not function on GMT. Therefore, my computer does not function on GMT. Therefore, no DW install for me.
So, I did a LITTLE investigating. Unless I'm completely mistaken, the "gimmie GMT" time functions are already built in to core perl. So, it should be possible to hack out that little requirement. Yes, it'd be a lot of tediousness. But I'm thinking not actually all that hard.
Am I wrong here? Opinions plz?
