Hi! I’m currently wrapping up my master’s thesis, which is about dependencies and breakages on Hackage. In short, I’m analyzing all packages released onto Hackage during a certain window (currently the first quarter of 2025). I’m using the Hackage package index and the Hackage API to collect metadata. I’m using print-api[1] to attempt to detect breaking API changes between these releases and their predecessors. I’m using HIE DB[2] to identify which symbols are actually being used by reverse dependencies. My goal is to investigate versioning and dependency constraint practices, as well as package breakages. I’m now at a point where I would like to evaluate my findings with experts in the Haskell community (such as experienced developers and package maintainers). If you could spare a bit of time I would love to hear your thoughts on my work. I’m thinking the questions could be sent via email, but if you prefer a call we could do that as well. You will be anonymous when any data is presented. Thank you for whatever you can do! All the best, Jon [1]: https://github.com/Kleidukos/print-api [2]: https://github.com/haskell/HieDb
