[Haskell-cafe] xattr takeover
Hello, I've been trying to get in touch with the maintainer (CC'd) about the xattr package for about a month. There are quite a few memory leaks (among other issues) for which I have a patch (see [1]). I would like to push the new version to Hackage, but the etiquette for taking over a package is unclear. Any suggestions? Thanks, Deian [1] https://github.com/deian/libattr-hs ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Any suggestions? If you've made a decent effort, I think you should just upload it with the fix (and again CC the previous author). Nobody benefits from having buggy software out there. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
