Actually, I think I'm done. I will step down as AUR and Arch Linux maintainer on Monday, to focus my efforts upstream, on Hackage itself.
I'm going to release the rest of tools I have in a darcs repo this weekend, and try to document on the wiki any other processes that are active.
Most of them you already know about (cabal2arch, the archlinux package, and the support scripts). I'll leave it up to this team to work out if they want to keep supporting:
The cabal2arch tool http://code.haskell.org/~dons/code/cabal2arch/
The archlinux support package http://code.haskell.org/~dons/code/archlinux/
The IRC channel
The mailing list
The blog http://archhaskell.wordpress.com/
The package status page http://code.haskell.org/arch/arch-haskell-status.html
The twitter account http://twitter.com/archhaskell
The RSS feed http://code.haskell.org/arch/aur.xml
The Hackage reverse package map http://www.galois.com/~dons/cabalArchMap.txt
The wiki http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Arch_Linux
It's been an interesting 2 years running this stuff, and this group has led the Haskell community to demonstrate how well a distro can support Haskell, particularly through the use of automated tools taking advantage of the declarative nature of Cabal.
But it's time for me to focus my energies higher up the stack.
Those interested in picking up parts of the work, please let me know.
Thanks for your hard work, you have, largely single-handedly, made Arch into the best Linux distro for Haskell developers. Now we just have to figure out how many people are required to fill in for you :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
