Hi, on planet.debian.org, there is some ill-tempered discussion about the seemingly bad relationship between the Ruby community and Debian maintainers. The following blog post summarizes the issues quite well and calmly: http://gwolf.org/blog/ruby-dissonance-debian-again With the Haskell community, luckily the relationship is much better. But since the technical situation is similar, i.e. a custom distribution channel via hackage/cabal-install, the possibility to install multiple versions of a package at once, I thought this might still be an interesting read. I hope this improves the understanding of a distribution’s needs and why we don’t like multiple versions of one package or a splitting in too many single small packages. But let me stress that I’m very happy with the interaction of the communities, Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner mail: mail@joachim-breitner.de | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Key: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Debian Developer: nomeata@debian.org
