Re: [Haskell-cafe] Package takeover request for rapid

I always support using a GitHub organization, especially if the package is actually used. You can even make one just for the package. An organization can have multiple owners, providing redundancy if one of them leaves ... or dies. On Tue, Apr 19, 2022, 10:02 AM Markus Läll wrote:

Hi Andreas,

Yup, let's wait the two weeks.

By default I'd maintain it here: https://github.com/eyeinsky/rapid. Are there any other options (a github organization perhaps)?

Hello Markus,

thanks for the initiative!

The takeover is probably fine. It might be contested by other applicants, but there aren't really any stakeholders on the source code of rapid. As far as github tells me, the code was single-handedly written by the now passed-away author.

Maybe we should wait the suggested 2 weeks for any contestants before we finalize the takeover.

You will need help to get added to

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rapid/maintainers/

by one of the hackage admins (CCed).

You would likely have to move the code to another github account, would

you?

Cheers, Andreas (in my role as a hackage trustee)

P.S.: I bumped the base-bound of rapid on hackage to ease building with newer GHCs.

Hi

I would like to take over https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rapid

The author of the package Ertugrul Söylemez, once an active member of the community perhaps best known for netwire, passed away in 2018. [1] The work required for the package thus far, and for which I've kept a fork for, is to bump version bounds as GHCs progress.
