Description

Hi,

for the current release (3.10.1), in the verifying the ISO using commandline, the website shows the following output:

gpg: Signature made Tue Oct 23 22:43:45 2018 UTC

And many users get:

gpg: Signature made Wed 24 Oct 2018 00:43:45 CEST

Even though this is the same date, it’s very confusing as the doc stands that we should get the same result.

So maybe it should be made clear that it depends on local time.

Oops! I forgot to fix the timezone from the differences identified in Bug #14685.

I did this in doc/16112-add-tz-to-gpg-verify.

Cody: Please have a look. Yet another little relevant tweak on our OpenPGP instructions. I know you’ll like it! :)

FYI this will cause merge conflicts with my work on Bug #15999 so it would be nice if this could been reviewed and merged into master soon so I have time to deal with these conflicts before my deadline :)
