Library is failing due to Iana ftp file not found #10

Open zeethegenius-zz opened 8 years ago

zeethegenius-zz commented 8 years ago

ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/ is not working anymore can you please provide a work around that I can use to fix it as our production is down and I need to figure out what I can do to fix it ASAP?

chrisdostert commented 8 years ago

it seems to be the IANA published a breaking release at @5pm PST, i'd try to ping them and see what the deal is.

An interim workaround would be to use the LocalTzDbFileSource rather than the default FtpTzDbFileSource.

zeethegenius-zz commented 8 years ago

To use local do i need to download some file? do you have some sample unit test i can look at? My production is broken and management is all over it.

I will greatly appreciate if you can help?

For local which one of these files should I download? tzdb-2016g.tar.lz (374.6kb) Complete Distribution (Data, Code and Extras) tzdata2016g.tar.gz (309.2kb) Data Only Distribution tzcode2016g.tar.gz (198.6kb) Code Only Distribution

chrisdostert commented 8 years ago

I'm in transit at the moment but will send something as soon as i'm able.

The correct source will be the tzdata2016g.tar.gz which you will need to unzip

zeethegenius-zz commented 8 years ago

Thanks got it working with the suggestion you made I greatly appreciate that !

zeethegenius-zz commented 8 years ago

I have created a modified version of library that has ability to load from embedded resource tzdata2016g.tar.gz. Can you please give me permission to push as a branch so you can also take a look?

chrisdostert commented 8 years ago

Awesome, I'd be happy to take a PR; go ahead and fork the repo and submit a PR and i'll take a look.

I'm planning on updating the behavior this weekend to snag the .tar.gz version from IANA ftp rather than the unzipped version as it appears that's either unreliable or they've decided to not publish in that format any longer.

Likely i'll also update the code to default to use the most recent version from the IANA and fallback to the local copy if IANA is down or broken.

This sound good to you?

zeethegenius-zz commented 8 years ago

Sounds great to me. Iana have fixed the problem. I will clean up code tomorrow and do a PR. Thanks !
