 Orphaning it, and CCing debian-haskell in case someone there has

we have two option: Taking it over by the Haskell Group, or dropping it
from Debian. Therefore my question:

Is anyone using Wash? Is it still useful, three years after the last
change and with HAppS around?

Greetings,

It's a nice piece of code. I'm not using it either. But its ideas should
not be forgotten. What exactly is the problem with supporting it?

It's not using many extensions so compiling it should not make any
trouble, does it?

Maybe someone (I?) should write a .cabal file and add it to hackage.

Then everyone who is interested in it can install it using
cabal-install.

I never want to miss having read some of its code.

It’s not even cabalized yet? That would cause even extra work... But if
it is cabalized and builds without issues, then supporting it is not
much effort (although it’s not Debian’s task to be a code library,
people can go to hackage for that).

Greetings,
Joachim

Hi,

It compiles even with ghc HEAD with very minimal cabal adjustments.

I will upload it to hackage soon.

Whether it is a debian package or not isn't that important (IMHO).
