[Haskell-cafe] lambdabot-4.2.3.3
Hi. A few days ago I tried to install lambdabot package from hackage (4.2.3.2). Cabal install failed http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/lambdabot/4.2.3.2/logs/failure/ghc-7.4. Then I found DanBurton's github repo https://github.com/DanBurton/lambdabot-remedies with some approaches to make lambdabot install fixed. All dependency packages (IOSpec, numbers) was already fixed. So I add FlexibleInstances extension to cabal file https://github.com/dmalikov/lambdabot/commit/db7a464948d65c11b3345db524cc8f9124301bbc and upload http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lambdabot-4.2.3.3 package to hackage. I hope that did everything right. -- Best regards, dmitry malikov ! ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

You should never just upload a package that you are not maintaining before asking first the maintainer and then haskell-cafe if you receive no response. If you did not ask, please do not do that again and tell the maintainer - which in this case you should have no problem contacting, since Cale is often online on IRC. -- Francesco * Often in error, never in doubt ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Lambdabot doesn't have a maintainer.

For what it's worth, I've been maintaining a fork for personal use for quite a while[1]. It diverged from the official version quite a while ago, but it builds on the latest GHC and uses Safe Haskell for the @eval module. If someone happens to want to use it they are free to do so, and I'll even fix problems they find if it's not too much work for me, but I can't really commit to officially maintaining it. Note also that one of its dependencies is not on Hackage (it's on the same GitHub account though). -- James [1] https://github.com/mokus0/lambdabot On Jul 18, 2012, at 11:04 AM, Cale Gibbard wrote: Lambdabot doesn't have a maintainer.

That does not sound right, also considering that lambdabot is used on the IRC channel, it'd be nice to have a more structured way to push fixes and improvements... Otherwise it'll eventually just bitrot and die. -- Francesco * Often in error, never in doubt ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

The irc server it runs on has about 10 users, all of whom I know and trust, so I have not tested it extensively but it should be as safe as anything else running Safe Haskell. Mueval uses the ghc API and with a minor modification can do so in safe mode. As long as you don't trust any packages you shouldn't, it should be fine. This sort of thing is why safe Haskell exists.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] lambdabot-4.2.3.3
I should probably be more clear - it supports all the same resource limiting mechanisms as Mueval because it uses Mueval (modified to support Safe Haskell).
