Presumably you can only get false negatives - i.e. "correct" packages failing to build due to missing C libraries, or depending on Haskell libraries at different version numbers to the build server? >>> Isak Hansen: >>> How about taking it one step further, actually "hiding" unmaintained >>> packages after a grace period? Hiding unmaintained libraries seems contrary to Hackage's spirit - if you want to depend on an unmaintained library why not volunteer to be the maintainer. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
