When I designed this, I didn't know it was going to be implemented by accessing the Internet -- though I might have guessed by re-reading the equivalent part of the Ubuntu installer spec. <https://goo.gl/terpNZ> So, add ubiquity to the list of callsites for that API.
If I'd known it was going to access the Internet, I would have specified progress, error, and offline feedback. So, why does it use the Internet? What are some concrete examples of places that people would expect to show up, that wouldn't show up, if we relied entirely on an offline list? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libtimezonemap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455223 Title: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline Status in libtimezonemap package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Click on clock -> Time and Date settings -> Clock -> Choose Locations -> Click the + -> Start typing "San Franc" When I'm at home, on a 300mbps connections, it takes several seconds to several minutes, when trying to add a new location. When I'm on a plane without internet connectivity, (ie, exactly when I most importantly need to change the time on my laptop to the new/next timezone), it doesn't work at all. Can we please, please, please move this timezone/location information to a locally cached database?
