[Pulp-list] Repo sync times and DST

[Jason Connor]

Hi Tomas,

Pulp stores all schedule date/times in UTC and converts back and forth on the fly, taking into account whether or not the server is in daylight savings time.

If you schedule a sync for 2:00 in the summer. It will run at 2:00 in the winter.
