What happened to -optdep option?
by Volker Wysk 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hello! I'm using GHC 7.10.3 after an upgrade. I have the following in my Makefile: depend_mod :: lib/abh ghc -M $(CFLAGS_GHC_0) -dep-makefile -optdepbuild/depend.tmp -dep-suffix "p_" \ $(foreach m, $(MOD_HS) $(PROG_HS), src/$(m).hs) \ $(foreach m, $(MOD_CHS) $(PROG_CHS), build/$(m).hs) ... This used to work. The previous GHC version was 7.8. Now GHC complains: -optdepbuild/depend.tmp: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) This looks like the -optdep argument isn't understood. There is no mention of it in the new/7.10.3 user manual. I don't know any longer what this "-optget" argument does, and it isn't in the documentation any longer. I googled the GHC web site. There it is mentioned that -optdep was deprecated, but almost all of the hits are very outdated (like ten years old). Can soneone tell me, how I should change my Makefile..? Greetings, Volker Wysk

[Maintainer needed] Actively maintained Haddock are happy Haddock
by Ben Gamari 04 May '16

tl;dr. Our Haddock need a dedicated maintainer responsible for their care and feeding. Would you like to move forward a critical piece of infrastructure used on a daily basis by thousands of Haskellers? Let us know if so. Hello everyone, While for several years Mateusz Kowalczyk and Simon Hengel have done an admirable job in serving as comaintainers of the Haddock documentation tool, they have both indicated that they no longer have the time to continue to be active in this role. They both deserve our thanks for their service. While Matthew Pickering and I have tried to pick up some of the Haddock's maintenance load in the meantime, we really need a dedicated maintainer to ensure that Haddock continues to swim along healthfully. At the moment there are over 150 open tickets in the issue tracker [1], an open call for a stable release, and 4 patches in need of review. We currently lack the time to get on top of such a load. In particular, Haddock need someone to take ownership of the management of the project: this person would keep an eye on (and preferably pare down) the issue tracker (which typically isn't very active, happily), guide new contributors, and manage releases. This is an opportunity to drive forward a project used on a daily basis by a significant fraction of Haskellers. If you think you might be interested in serving in this role, please let us know. Thanks! Cheers, - Ben [1] https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pulls
