Hello, is there anyone out there? c2hs, other requests?

Greetings, I'd like to update the c2hs package, it seems that Michael Weber hasn't had time to look at it lately. Has anyone else already expressed interest in picking up this package? (I'm not a DD) Also, what packages are people interested in? I'd like to have HSQL, HaskellDB, and WASH because I use them on a regular basis, what else are people pining for? -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer - http://www.ScannedInAvian.org/ "I will, as we say in rock 'n' roll, run until the wheels come off, because I love what I do." -- David Crosby

You've prompted me to getting around to getting a mailing list created :-) You should be able to subscribe at: http://urchin.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/debian-haskell > I'm asking because Debian ships almost no Haskell libraries at all, > and I'd like to see some here. For instance, wxHashell and hsregex. Agreed! There are a few bits and pieces in the Haskell Experimental repository: http://www.syntaxpolice.org/haskell-experimental/haskell-experimental.html This does include some wxhaskell packages, but I don't think I got as far as making the deps right. Also, I think the library ought to be split into an OpenGL and non-OpenGL portion so you don't need to link with the OpenGL libs when you aren't using them. I think Daan disagreed with me, though. If you'd like to tidy it up and upload to Debian please do! OTTOMH I don't think there's anything currently in HE that the author would mind someone else uploading to Debian, but it would be polite to try to make contact anyway to check. > Are there documents anywhere on how to package Haskell libraries so they > work with as many of the Haskell compilers/interpreters as possible? Not yet, just the examples we already have; hat is the one that comes to mind. The current situation is intended to be just to tide us over until http://www.haskell.org/cabal/ comes into existence though. Isaac Jones, a DD and the hugs maintainer, is leading the effort, so it should be well-suited to Debianising libraries! Thanks Ian
