Issues importing/"using" date/datetime in Julia. Is it even present?

I'm trying use the Date or DateTime in a script, which requires that I user "import Dates" or "using Dates". However, it can't find the module. I checked the the file list on the package info list and it doesn't seem to be present. Could someone confirm that this is the case?

[edit] I can confirm that I was doing everything correctly. I switch to julia-git in AUR, and its working fine after I added the path ( push!(LOAD_PATH,"/usr/share/julia/base") ). I'd still like it if someone could confirm that I'm not just looking in the wrong place.

I am confused. Did you at some point execute the following?

Julia> Pkg.add("Dates")

If you did not, why would Julia have that module present?

From what I had read no such thing was necessary. Can Julia go on-line and install modules by itself without root permission?

Hi, package maintainer of julia here.

Is this still a problem with the official package? If it is, please file a bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/ (or report an issue for the Julia developers at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues, if you think it's an upstream issue).

If there should be anything wrong with the PKGBUILD, I would be happy to try and fix it. The bugtracker makes sure the issue gets a proper follow-up and closure.

Re: Issues importing/"using" date/datetime in Julia. Is it even present?

Sorry for the late reply. No, this module is still not included in the installation as far as I can tell as of today. Do know that today I merely checked "/usr/share/julia/base", however last time I checked it was no where to be seen. I also tried "julia> import Dates".

Also /usr/share/julia/base is not in the load path.

julia> LOAD_PATH
2-element Array{Union(ASCIIString,UTF8String),1}:
 "/usr/local/share/julia/site/v0.3"
 "/usr/share/julia/site/v0.3"

I don't know if this is a bug or if this version just doesn't include this package.
