for a few weeks now, and including the git commit
af677f6d0667bacba72defeaee7e76557e68f8c8 that I last tested, the Agenda Bulk
Scatter (BS) has had a bug whereby items it reschedules have the DATE lost.
As an example
SCHEDULED 2011-12-12
ends up as
SCHEDULED
after BS
org-mode 7.5 did not have the problem
Cheers,
RJ Cunningham

Please, please, if you'd like to get your bug fixed, provide a detailed
bug report[1] and better yet do a git bisect[2] to track down which change
caused the regression. This will greatly increase the chances of the bug
actually getting fixed.
Thanks

Hi, I need a few testers: Something very strange is going on here.
When I evaluate this form
(decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time))))
I get a date in the year 3980. I think this used to work.
Is there anyone who has an idea what is going on here?
Thanks

(decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time))))
=> (0 0 1 10 6 3980 2 t 3600)
With "GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of
2011-02-10 on keller, modified by Debian".
(time-to-days) returns the number of days since 0001-12-31bce, which
(days-to-time) converts into a time value. That time value is relative
to 0001-12-31bce, _not_ relative to 1970-01-01, which is what
(decode-time) is expecting.
Hence you end up 1970 years out.

If I evaluate this form in the scratch buffer (no org-mode loaded), I get the
following backtrace:
debug(error (error "Invalid time specification"))
decode-time((968068 42752))
eval((decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days ...))))

That's what I thought at first too, until I read David Edmondson's mail:
He points out that decode-time assumes seconds since the Unix epoch
whereas time-to-days calculates the offset in days since early CE, hence the
calculation is off by 1970 years.
I did a git blame on time-to-days and days-to-time and nothing seems to
have changed recently, so I'd guess Carsten just misremembered.

Same here (except the "I think this used to work") on GNU Emacs 23.3.1
x86_64-apple-darwin that is 64 bit and has also the famous time_t with
64 bits. The error reported by others comes from time_t with 32 bits.
decode-time checks for overflow of time_t before either passing it to
the system call localtime(const time_t *), or giving the error.
But since it's only a mismatch of current-time with base 1970 and
time-to-days with base 1bec, is
(decode-time (days-to-time (- (time-to-days (current-time))
(time-to-days '(0 0)))))
what you need? Why the *days* function, for some rounding?

G'day Carsten (and the others who've latched onto this issue),
When I first saw the thread dealing with decode-time ... I frankly had no idea
how this related to the issue I'd reported. However, a few things have become
clearer to me and perhaps what I see may help.
Here is what I see on:
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27
on crested, modified by Debian
when evaluating in the scratch buffer:
(decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time))))
(0 0 8 11 6 3980 3 nil 28800)
and when I use BS on my orgmode (git commit
c4737ae48b84308e1ac201531aca392a81529974) agenda in this system and item is
rescheduled as such:
SCHEDULED: <3980-06-17 Tue>
Eureka! This seems to relate to what Carsten has picked up on.
in ANOTHER Emacs
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-08-02 on
radon, modified by Debian
I see this from the scratch buffer:
(decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time))))
[NOTHING RETURNED]
with the following backtrace
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid time specification")
decode-time((968069 63616))
eval((decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days ...))))
eval-last-sexp-1(t)
eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-print-last-sexp()
call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil)
The NOTHING returned here seems consistent with my originally reported
rescheduling with a lost date.
The main difference between these two Emacs here is one is running on a 64 bit
(40C date), the other a 32 bit machine (no date).
I can also report that in orgmode 7.5 (release version) there is no problem.
My uneducated wild guess here would be that some code that somehow "patched"
the date calculations in 7.5 has been removed or changed so as not to work.
Hope this of some help. I'm not quite in a position to do the git-bisect
Christian suggested.
Cheers,
RJ Cunningham

Thank you for the analysis - the bulk scattering
command should now again work as advertised.

OK, only after the git server starts working again.
