I griped that the lack of Data-Derivable time values was causing me headache in happstack. In the proposed cabal package http://patch-tag.com/r/tphyahoo/systemtimetypeable/snapshot/current/content/pretty/systemtimetypeable.cabal I submit a workaround that, while probably not the ideal thing, has proved helpful to me. Basically, I use the type MyTime, which is data-deriveable, when working with Macid in happstack; and convert from System.Time and/or Data.Time with the accompanying utility functions when necessary. Perhaps the utility functions are useful on their own as well. I found it surprisingly hard to get from Data.Time values to System.Time values. Anyways, I am interested in what others think and, of course, patches and suggestions welcome. thomas. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
