Package versioning confusion
by Sven Panne 03 Apr '07

I'm currently trying to unify the darcs-all scripts for GHC/Hugs/nhc, adding a "--release" option on the way, which is inteded to retrieve fixed versions from Hackage instead of the latest & greatest stuff from darcs repos. Looking at nhc's package list, I found a few issues: * Iavor's package is called "monadLib", but the darcs repo on darcs.haskell.org is called "monad". I propose to simply rename that directory to match "monadLib". There is already an empty directory of the same name there, so somebody else was obviously confused, too. If nobody yells soon, I'll do this renaming. * Malcolm: Could you move the polyparse repository from http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/polyparse to darcs.haskell.org/packages, please? This would make things more consistent. * Finally, I am utterly confused by the fps package: There is a version 0.7 on Hackage, the repo at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/fps seems to contain a 0.8 version, and we finally have a version somehow integrated into the base package, all with different APIs/#ifdefs/etc. Help!!! Which version compiles with which Haskell implementation? Which is the most current version? Will we split this from base? I know that there have been epic discussions on the libraries list, but after >20 mails I was somehow lost. If we want to keep this in base for some time, it should at least be assured that it compiles with all Haskell implementations, so we could nuke the explicit "fps" package from nhc's package list. It can be re-added later, but please in synch with the rest of the implementations. Using it currently must be a nightmare for packagers/users due to this versionitis... :-/ Cheers, S.
