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

Actually few days ago I run into CouchDB and started to prototype a binding using JSON and Curl from hackage. Once the base functionality is supported, I could post it for review. Adam On Aug 21, 2008, at 11:29 AM, Dimitry Golubovsky wrote:

I think the best result here would be to put a CouchDB binding on hackage.

Is anyone in a position to do this?

As for myself, honestly, I did not plan to do this at this time as I am busy with other stuff (Yhc Core conversion). I'd be glad to help anyone who is willing to put CouchDB interface on Hackage.

I'd like to note though that this may be a bit premature at the moment. CouchDB has been going through significant redevelopment within Apache Incubator (I am not a developer, but just watch silently), and what is available within the Yhc source tree may not work properly with the current CouchDB: it was for 0.7.x while they have 0.8.x in the incubator.

So I would wait for "graduation" of CouchDB from the incubator, or at least checked with its core developers regarding API stability.

Besides, the CouchDB interface in question was written only to satisfy the needs of the Yhc Web Service and may be missing some pieces, although it may be good for a starting point.

Thank you.
