Hi guys,

I have come to realize that I can no longer commit significant time and effort to this project. I may be able to perform another few occasional updates, but I cannot do so on a regular basis. Does anyone feel able to take over maintenance of HABS and, by extension, AUR?

I'm willing to take this on again, if there are no objections from the wider arch-haskell community that is.

Please raise any objections here in the mailing list.

I'm a bit late but this is fine by me as well.

I used  to build the  x86_64 version and  contribute a few  packages and updates.

Does that mean you have access to the [archhaskell] repo on kiwilight? You see, I still don't :( I'm all for sharing the responsibility of building the packages. Since Peter stepped down I've been building both platforms, which is *very* time consuming indeed.

I hope to contribute  in a similar way. I would prefer  to keep in close synch  the builds  of i686  and x86_64.  I propose  to make  updates and additions  and  publish these  updates  and  additions to  the  upstream repository.

I assume that by "upstream repository" you mean the [archhaskell] repository, right? In that case I agree with you 100%. As I've mentioned both earlier here and in an earlier email to the list I don't have enough access to the server hosting [archhaskell], so for the time being I'm publishing the updated builds in a private repository on the same server. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus

if you think that would help, then I could set up a cron job that rsyncs your directory to the ~haskell area.

Yes, that would be an excellent interim solution :)

It feels odd that Kaiting is unavailable for such a long time. :-( I hope he is alright.

I have been in contact with him; he's all right, just very busy. I ping him about once a week to make sure he doesn't forget my request of increased access. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus

Excellent. Let me know what is left doing, if anything, once you've done what you plan to do now. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus

Ok, I pushed both. And doing some sanity checks like installing them all.

Hi Magnus,

I reckon all this means that you won't be needing a cron job to sync ~magnus/h4a to ~haskell/ anymore, right? I can create one, of course, but that would mean that Nicolas would have to push updates to the directories in magnus home, or they would be overwritten every time the cron job runs. I guess, that's not what we want?

You reckon correctly. Such a cron job would most likely just cause more trouble than benefit. I'll keep trying to get added to the group, and in the mean time I'll have to do manual syncs, [archhaskell] to ~magnus, and then get someone else to do a manual sync in the other direction. Hopefully this situation won't last much longer now. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus
