[Haskell] ANN: ssh, darcsden vulnerability
We recently learned of a serious undocumented vulnerability in the ssh http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ssh package. This is a minimal ssh server implementation used by darcsden http://hackage.haskell.org/package/darcsden to support darcs push/pull. If you use the ssh package, or you have darcsden’s darcsden-ssh server running, you should upgrade to/rebuild with the imminent ssh-0.3 release right away. Or if you know of someone like that, please let them know. Also, if you're interested in cryptography/security, additional help and patches for the ssh and darcsden packages would be very welcome. I've blogged more details at http://joyful.com/blog/2015-04-20-ssh-darcs-hub-vulnerability.html http://joyful.com/blog/2015-04-20-ssh-darcs-hub-vulnerability.html (if you're a Darcs Hub user, hopefully you've already seen it).

[Haskell] VSTTE 2015 Final Call For Papers
** 7th Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments July 18 - 19, 2015 San Francisco, California, USA http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/vstte15 Co-located with 25th Conference on Computer Aided Verification (http://i-cav.org/2015) ** Full Paper Submission Deadline: April 27, 2015 SCOPE: The Seventh Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural working conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by conferences in Toronto (2008), Edinburgh (2010), Philadelphia (2012), Atherton (2013), and Vienna (2014). The goal of this conference is to advance the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification, through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation. We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the production of verified software, i.e., software that has been proved to meet its functional specifications. We are especially interested in submissions describing large-scale verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge. We welcome papers describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and technologies. Topics of interest include education, requirements modeling, specification languages, specification/verification case-studies, formal calculi, software design methods, automatic code generation, refinement methodologies, compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability), tool integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and integrated verification environments. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Program Committee. We are accepting both long (limited to 16 pages) and short (limited to 10 pages) paper submissions, written in English. Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls describing an elegant proof or proof technique. Submitted research papers and system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Research paper submissions must be in LNCS format and must include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas, methods, results, and comparison to existing work. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and experimental contributions are equally encouraged, including those that focus on specific problems or problem domains. Papers should be submitted through: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2015. Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, or are too long will not be considered. The post-conference proceedings of VSTTE 2015 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to Springer-Verlag. The use of LaTeX and the Springer LNCS class files, obtainable fromhttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html, is strongly encouraged. PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be published as post-Proceedings, to appear in Springer's Lectures Notes in Computer Science.

[Haskell] [ANN]: the Helium compiler, version 1.8.1
Dear all, we have recently uploaded Helium 1.8.1, the novice friendly Haskell compiler, to Hackage. Improvements in this version - Helium can again work together with our Java-based programming environment Hint. The jar file for Hint itself can be downloaded from the Helium website at: http://foswiki.cs.uu.nl/foswiki/Helium which also has some more documentation on how to use Hint and helium. - the svn location if you are interested in the sources is now the correct one To install Helium simply type cabal install helium cabal install lvmrun Helium compiles with GHC 7.6.3 and 7.8.x, but does not yet compile with 7.10. Any questions and feedback are welcome at hel...@cs.uu.nl. best regards, The Helium Team ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell
Re: [Haskell] [Haskell-cafe] [ANN]: the Helium compiler, version 1.8.1
Great! How the type rules detailed in the scripting the type inference engine paper are implemented? it is possible to script the inference engine with such rules? If so, are there some examples? 2015-04-20 10:36 GMT+02:00 Jurriaan Hage j.h...@uu.nl: Dear all, we have recently uploaded Helium 1.8.1, the novice friendly Haskell compiler, to Hackage.

[Haskell] Help wanted with Wiki.Haskell.Org
One of the central repositories of knowledge in the Haskell world is the HaskellWiki (https://wiki.haskell.org). This wiki has been with the Haskell community for years, and contains a wealth of knowledge. Like other services on the haskell.org domain and with haskell.org equipment, ultimate responsibility for maintaining it falls on the Haskell Committee. However, it is a community wiki, and requires care and maintenance and contributions from all of us. The wiki has been, and continues to be, a vital component in the Haskell world. Like any wiki, it is fueled by contributions from many people, and in this sense it is thriving. However, it could use a certain amount of attention and work in three key areas. We are looking for volunteers to step up in these regards, 1) Account Creation Management: Account creation is manual only because spambots otherwise destroy us. It would be worth investigating if a full upgrade and new plugins could help this issue. In the meantime, the responsibility for creating new accounts has fallen on only one person for years. This is not a good situation. We would like to set up a mail alias for wiki admins and extend account creation rights to a range of people. If you would be willing to be one of a team of responders to account creation requests, please write and let us know. 2) Technical and design oversight: Now that we have a new haskell.org homepage, the current wiki frontpage could use a redesign. For that matter, the whole wiki could use a bit of a redesign to bring it into a more modern style. Along with that, it may be the case that additional plugins — such as for typesetting code or equations better — could be quite helpful. It would be good to have a mediawiki admin who wants to help improve the technical capacities of the site, as well as to overhaul its look. Again, if you are interested in taking charge of this, please let us know. 3) Content curation: One issue with a large collection of documents written by different people is the lack of curation. Some pages fall out of date, information is spread across multiple pages instead of collected together, and quality varies greatly. Without a central authority, no one is responsible (or empowered) to fix the situation. There is a balance between keeping things up-to-date and preserving the historic content of the wiki, and without people feeling empowered to make big changes, the tendency will always fall towards the latter. We're looking for people in the community to volunteer to help improve this status quo. The task, generally speaking, is to be responsible for curating and improving the content of the wiki, but that's clearly a vague description with lots of room for individual embellishment. This doesn't need to be a single person either: a team working in a coordinated fashion could be incredibly effective. Once more, depending on response, we’d be happy to designate and empower people to make broader changes on the wiki or to organize a team to do so. If you are interested in this as well, please let us know. Gershom, for the Haskell.org Committee ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell

I depend on pandoc in a major way, and I was wondering if anybody got it to work? I have myself fixed and submitted pull requests for some minor libraries that my own code uses (mime, iCalendar, etc) but I figure that somebody is surely working on something as prominent as pandoc? What's the lie of the land? Should I jump in and try my best? (I fear many days of pain might be involved, pandoc has deep dependencies...). I am not a Haskell expert yet. Is somebody working on these? Pandoc is now back in the repo. Unfortunately pandoc-citeproc still doesn't build with 7.10 though. Now pandoc-citeproc's in the repo too. While at it I also closed #182 by adding pandoc-crossref. /M ___ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell ___ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
