Have you looked at my timezone-olson package?
I wrote it as an alternative to Data.Time.ZoneInfo.
I think it is more flexible, and better integrated with
Data.Time.

Thanks,

[Haskell-cafe] data.time.zoneinfo

2010-10-20 Thread Anatoly Yakovenko 
I am trying to figure out how to use this library, seems like this should work


Prelude Data.Time.ZoneInfo ctx - newContext Nothing
Prelude Data.Time.ZoneInfo name - zoneInfoName (utcOlsonZone ctx) True
Prelude Data.Time.ZoneInfo newOlsonZone ctx name
*** Exception: Data.Time.ZoneInfo.newOlsonZone: invalid argument
(Invalid argument)


but it doesn't, neither does


Prelude Data.Time.ZoneInfo newOlsonZone ctx America/New_York
*** Exception: Data.Time.ZoneInfo.newOlsonZone: invalid argument
(Invalid argument)


and my zoneinfo seems to be kosher on my machine


$ ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York


$ ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT


what am i missing?
