Re: [Haskell-cafe] CouchDB module in Yhc source tree: clarification, and small problems with other packages

magnus:

Sorry for not responding earlier but I didn't pay attention to this thread at the time. The reason for finding it now is that I listened to the FLOSS Weekly's episode on CouchDB yesterday; I stumbled on this email from a search for haskell+couchdb.

4. The dataenc package (http://code.haskell.org/dataenc/devo/) from which I pulled the Codec.Binary.Base64 module. The package may need some adjustment to GHC 6.8.x packages structure as only "base" listed in build-depends does not seem to be enough: when building it, Cabal complains for hidden packages such as collections (which I had to add manually to the cabal file), etc. Is it some problem with my GHC setup, or does just the dataenc.cabal need to be updated?

As the author of dataenc I'm interested in fixing any problems you see with it. Maybe you could offer some more information:

1. Is this still a problem? (I'm using GHC 6.8.2 and I'm having no such problems at the moment.) 2. What can I do to make sure that I get contacted if similar issues come up in the future? (Currently bugs can only be reported by contacting me directly, preferably via email. Since you didn't I suspect I haven't communicated that clearly enough though.)

I think the best result here would be to put a CouchDB binding on hackage. Is anyone in a position to do this? -- Don
