Testpack considered for removal, users please speak up
by Magnus Therning 15 Apr '13

Testpack[1] is being considered for removal. It's requiring more and more patching and the upstream author has not been responsive lately. There are no other packages depending on it so there is no impact on other packages in [haskell-core]. If anyone out there is depending on the package please speak up, so we can discuss what to do about it. I'll leave a week for users to speak up and start the discussion. If I've heard nothing as of 27 March I'll go ahead and remove the package. /M [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/testpack -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay

My version was from Nov. 14. Apparently it didn't get a version bump when recompiled for 7.6.2. Thanks, Dale

Fwd: Avoid network >= 2.4.1.1 for now [jeremy@n-heptane.com]
by Fabio 27 Mar '13

For people using happstack-server from [habs-web], don't do it, until the release of new version of 'network'. See below for the details. Fabio In data 02/03/2013 00:02:18, Jeremy Shaw ha scritto: Hello, As a result of this "bug", https://github.com/haskell/network/issues/86 unEscapeString in network 2.4.1.1 returns radically different results than it did in 2.4.1.0. Why this got such a tiny version bump is beyond me. Unfortunately, happstack-server was written expecting the old behavior and will not work correctly with the new behavior. A new version is in the works, but for now, you should stick with network <= 2.4.1.0. - jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "HAppS" group.

haskell-xmonad currently broken with the latest xorg update ?
by Pierre Radermecker 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi, I was just wondering why ghc and haskell-xmonad is duplicated in the [haskell-core] repo ? It makes the process rather weak ... If I am not mistaken the last xorg update currently breaks haskell-xmonad. I guess there is a good reason but the [haskell-core] maintainer need now to be able to update as quick as the extra repo does. Cheers, - Pierre
