Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: ansi-terminal-0.6.1

There's no information about the group, no mailing list or IRC channel. It doesn't look like there's much collaboration inside the group. Nor did I get any response (except a short IRC chat with Daniel Wagner, who confirmed the above). Of course these problems could be addressed, but the very fact that they still aren't (after 2 years) is a sign for me that there's not much interest and it's not worth the effort on my side.

Yeah, the plan with haskell-pkg-janitors didn't really work out, so I just took over ansi-terminal myself.

Why not? Did you get a reply to your first question, or is it because of a lack of response (although it hasn't been that long considering we're talking about changing maintainership of an abandoned package).

I think haskell-pkg-janitors is a good idea, but it does seem to be very loosely organized. Regardless, it seems to be very github-centric, so perhaps raising an issue would be the best way to contact them about things like adding new packages.

If you could identify the reason haskell-pkg-janitors didn't work out, perhaps those problems could be addressed?

Thanks Roman! I guess, following your recent ML thread, that you are now maintaining it or at least plan to move it under package-janitors. Is this correct?

Really happy to see ansi-terminal revamped!

Heads up: I've uploaded a new version of ansi-terminal. It contains two changes for Windows:

* `BoldIntensity` no longer changes background color on Windows * `setSGR []` was not equivalent to `setSGR [Reset]` on Windows, even though it should be according to the documentation. This is now fixed.

Both change the semantics, and while I believe they are beneficial, there may be subtle regressions if some code relied on the old behavior in unexpected ways.

If you use any Haskell programs or libraries on Windows that do
