           Summary: Time in file listing with --list-only option is
                    inconsistent whether dst is given or not
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: psimerda at redhat.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


(from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918399)

Description of problem:
The modification time of listed files (with --list-only option) is in current
local timezone except the case of using rsync:// protocol. Time in UTC is
listed in such case.

## The current timezone is CET, +1 hour
# date +%Z
CET

# rsync -a --list-only /root/local/ localhost::remote
drwxr-xr-x        4096 2013/01/25 14:06:05 .
-rw-r--r--    20000000 2013/01/25 14:06:05 bigfile

# rsync -a --list-only /root/local/
drwxr-xr-x        4096 2013/01/25 15:06:05 .
-rw-r--r--    20000000 2013/01/25 15:06:05 bigfile

#3 rsync -a --list-only /root/local/ localhost:/root/remote
root at localhost's password: 
drwxr-xr-x        4096 2013/01/25 15:06:05 .
-rw-r--r--    20000000 2013/01/25 15:06:05 bigfile



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsync-3.0.9-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up and run an rsync daemon with some module, e.g. "remote"
2. Run commands and see the different results:
rsync -a --list-only /root/local/
rsync -a --list-only /root/local/  localhost::remote

Actual results:
The listed times differ depending on wheather remote rsync destination is given
or not

Expected results:
Either consistent output (both timestamps in the same timezone) or some note in
help why this happens (in case there is some purpose for this behaviour)

--- Additional comment from Michal Trunecka on 2013-01-25 09:38:13 EST ---

And if the files are actualy transfered with the times listed using
--out-format option, the time is printed also in the local timezone. So only
the listing with remote rsync destination lists the files with UTC timestamps.

# rsync -a --out-format '%n%L %M'  /root/local/ localhost::remote
./ 2013/01/25-15:06:05
bigfile 2013/01/25-15:06:05
