Tzdata polling for update about tzdata

[asummers]

That's fixed in #92 I believe!

Sorry for the late response, I'm using elixir 1.9.2
I fixed the issue by disabling automatic update.

@lau The bug seems to have been introduce in a faulty merge commit. Hackney should be an optional dependency: ac50d19#diff-6023be6004fce4718dad3dafb576d258R34

I disabled automatic update - I'm fine now, Kudos for the awesome work.

@dowusu Thank you. Which version of Elixir did this happen on?

@ericmj Hackney has never been an optional dependency in any releases. Early versions did not have it as a dependency at all though. Even if it were optional, if someone used it and has automatic updating turned on, wouldn't the same thing happen?

It looks to me like a problem with Hackney assuming an ETS table is available - but it is not. Maybe Hackney is not running even though it should be.

I am working on a new version of Tzdata that will not depend on hackney.

If it's not optional you should not have a custom applications function: https://github.com/lau/tzdata/blob/master/mix.exs#L29-L30.

There is a new release 1.0.3 which should fix this.
