Re: [Pharo-project] timezone madness

July 10, 2012

      I solve it the following way:

DateAndTime >> #fromSeconds: seconds 
	"Answer a DateAndTime since the Squeak epoch: 1 January 1901"

	| integerSeconds nanos |
	integerSeconds := seconds truncated.
	integerSeconds = seconds
		ifTrue: [nanos := 0]
		ifFalse: [nanos := (seconds - integerSeconds * NanosInSecond) asInteger].
	^ self basicNew
		ticks: (Array
				with: SqueakEpoch
				with: integerSeconds
				with: nanos)
		offset: self localOffset

DateAndTime >> #asSeconds
 	"Return the number of seconds since the Squeak epoch"

 	^ (self - (self class epoch) + self offset) asSeconds

asSeconds always returns an relative value to the universally know 
squeak epoch.

DateAndTime is a TimePoint + a TimeZone

done, no?

I saw that some changes were included but 
- they somehow break other tests
- the standard offset in DateAndTime is set to 0 (instead of a Duration of length 0)
can somebody quickly summarize the changes for me please? :)
