Hello everyone! I'm now considering to debianize the Yi Editor (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi). I know Yi is still in its early beta or maybe alpha stage, but already somewhat usable(I've been giving it a try every half a year or so and found it's steadily improving), and its concept is too fascinating to ignore ;-)
I'm a DD, but I'm relatively new to Haskell and this will be my first Haskell-related package, so I appreciate your help(or please let me know if someone's already working on it or packaging Yi is a bad idea in the first place ;-). I have a very rough preliminary package, but I'm not filing ITP yet. There are several questions, but firstly, I would like to ask about Haskell package dependency on Debian. I could build the current Yi 0.6.4.0 (with some tweaks for alex 3), but it seems to depend the following Haskell packages which are not available in Debian sid yet: cautious-file-1.0 concrete-typerep-0.1 data-accessor-monads-fd-0.2.0.3 derive-2.4.2 dyre-0.8.6 executable-path-0.0.2 fingertree-0.0.1.0 haskell-src-exts-1.10.2 monas-fd-0.2.0.0 pointedlist-0.3.5 rosezipper-0.1 xdg-basedir-0.2.1 Also, if we try to build Yi with Pango, then we need newer gtk2hs version >=0.13.5 (currently we have 0.13.4 in sid ). I read most of Haskell pages on Debian Wiki, and from my understanding, the right way to put them in Debian is joining Alioth pkg-haskell project. Is this correct? And do I have to package them by myself? Does anyone working on it?
