Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Handling absent maintainers

I had been in contact with the maintainer of the package who has prepared a version 0.5 and was waiting for them to upload it so that I could use it as a dependency, but I haven't heard from them in a week or so. I'll try emailing them again, and as soon as 0.5 is on hackage I will go ahead with my upload.

I can upload a working .4 version of th-lift if needed, but I guess it might be undesirable to depend on it if 0.5 changes the API. I'll have a look at your version and see if I can merge my additions into it. For now, perhaps somebody should re-upload the current version of src-meta with the correct dependencies (TH<2.4)? 2010/8/17 Ben Millwood :

Hi,

Has there been any progress with this package? Like you I have also tried to contact Matt and like you I have ended up making my own version of src-meta :). When someone assumes maintainership of this package I would like to discuss integrating some additions I made to the Translation module.

Hi Jonas,

Sorry about the delay. In my version of haskell-src-meta I basically replaced the entire Language.Haskell.TH.Instances.Lift module with derivations from the th-lift package whose latest version currently doesn't build [1]. I had been in contact with the maintainer of the package who has prepared a version 0.5 and was waiting for them to upload it so that I could use it as a dependency, but I haven't heard from them in a week or so. I'll try emailing them again, and as soon as 0.5 is on hackage I will go ahead with my upload.

I suppose since there's no reason why I deserve maintainership more than you you could just go ahead and upload your version instead. You can see exactly what I've done at my github repository [2].

Yours, Ben Millwood
