Today, I am noticing: * we have GHC 6.10.3, but not the version of time that most people use with GHC 6.10.3. I maintain my Haskell packages on a Debian system. I have to upload different code to Hackage because Debian is so out of date -- even in *SID*.
* we have no apparent effort to provide a haskell-platform metapackage at all. This is a terrible thing that will bite us over and over again, I fear. * Important bits of our Haskell infrastructure are unmaintained. Arjan, who doesn't have time to maintain Haskell packages anymore, is still the maintainer of record for haskell-devscripts, http, hsql, regex, haskelldb, haxml, helium. We have made some progress on other things, such as standardized debian/ directories, but we are moving at a glacial pace on a lot of the rest of this. Most of it is out of anyone's hands but Kari to fix, since he's the maintainer of ghc and most of the core infrastructure that Arjan isn't. Do we have a plan to address it? If so, is there something I can help with? If, let's make one, and quick. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
