if I could move to darcs and preserve history I would. Search for git fastexport and darcs-fastconvert. Regards, Malcolm ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I have the same question as Magnus (although in my case I took over something on github; if I could move to darcs and preserve history I would). See my reply to Magnus. I don't think it's scalable to put every Hackage package under one organization (and I don't think we gain much from doing so.) For now I think we should reserve the organization for core packages (i.e. HP packages.)

Do you have enough buy-in to make sure that the github organisation becomes the best location for *all* HP packages?

Probably not. I don't want to force any maintainers to switch VCS. For now, I would just like to make it possible for people who prefer Git (and GitHub) to use that to maintain their packages. There's also an issue with libraries that GHC depends on: the current build system relies on being able to check these out using darcs.

That's never been our intention. github is for in-progress source trees; Hackage is for releases of code. You misunderstood me. Currently I go to Hackage to look for stuff like: Source repository git clone git://github.com/haskell/network.git If all of HP were on github, then I wouldn't have to click my way through Hackage when I wanted to get to the source repos. /M -- Magnus Therning(OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Hi all, To ease my maintenance burden, I've moved the network package repo to: http://github.com/haskell/network Patches are accepted either in the git mbox format, as normal (diff) patch files, or as GitHub pull requests.
