It binds to all parts. Maybe description could be formulated differently, so
that questions like this are avoided. For example, just Qt (or Qt4) library
could be sufficient.
libqws - Haskell bindings for Qt GUI library for GHC
Is this thing actually called libqws?
That is helper library that helps bind Haskell with C++. The directory is
called QWS, yet the libraries are called libqtc_{core,gui,network,...}. If QWS
stands for something else, then it shouldn't be a problem to rename that
subpackage into something else (like libqtc).

Have you considered joining the Debian Haskell Group to maintain haskell-qt? And do you plan to package more Haskell libraries? And what exactly do you need haskell-qt for, e.g. what package depends on it? Surely I would maintain haskell-qt (or qtHaskell as it is originally called), and I would be glad to join the Debian Haskell Group. As for more libraries, I could package some more, but I didn't plan to for now. I am not aware of packages that depend on qthaskell. Generally, I packaged qthaskell because I like qt and like haskell. :) And why is haskell-qt not on hackage? I really have no idea. Possibly because it cannot be built only with cabal, one must first build the c-bits subpackage with qmakemake and then the remainder of the package using cabal. -- Filip Brcic br...@gna.org WWWeb: http://brcha.com Jabber : br...@kdetalk.net GPG 0x2537C379 Fingerprint: 287D 5F24 50AA A36C 977F AC9A F1FD C7EB 2537 C379 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

gui library is definately wrong if it binds everything. Qt4 frameworks
or Qt4 Libraries or ... somtehnig like that. And maybe you even want, if
possible to split at least the non-dev stuff in a per library package.

please consider splitting it.

I thought the same and looked on the home page (where you have to search this information again!). Apparently it is for Firefox which brings me on two points: a) Without haing further looked on your package you may want to reconsider package name and description to something more useful. Remember, it is the showcase for your program. The user has to learn what it is about by the name and possibly the synopsis.

My motivation for maintaining this package is: Contribute to debian project, and learn about of infrastructure. This is a _REALLY_ weak reason to upload a package to Debian. IMO you could contribute a lot more to the project by adopting any of the hundreds of orphaned packages, which would be a lot more useful than packaging browser extensions, as the browser already does a very good job of managing them and updating them. You can also look for more useful packages that have been requested as RFP bugs (i.e. ones where it is non-trivial for the user to use a non-packaged version). I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Please fix the package name and descriptions at least. But I'd rather you found a more useful package to take care of (note: this is not about how useful the browser extension is, but rather the fact that we don't gain much from getting the vast majority of the browser extensions packaged.
