[Haskell-cafe] feed release plan

Hi all, thanks for the input about feed. Unless I hear from Sigbjorn or Don I will make a release soon, along these lines: - it will depend on xml-conduit - it will include a fix or two from Gwern Branwen and Frédéric Bour - the version will be 1.0 - the maintainer will be Haskell community - the repo will be moved to github, under my account since I don't think there's a haskell community one Cheers, -Simon On Jan 2, 2012, at 11:01 AM, Michael Snoyman wrote:

If I may: I'm about to upload a new version of xml-enumerator that will state that it's officially deprecated in favor of xml-conduit. My guess is you'll be able to migrate to the latter by just changing the package name in your cabal file.

Hi Sigbjorn (and Don),

I'm back for another reason. feed leaks and uses a lot of memory due to the xml package. Rather than fix xml I ported feed to xml-enumerator, which is used by yesod and more actively maintained than xml. This seems to have fixed the problem so I'm thinking of uploading this version to hackage as feed-1.0 (which I'll use for rss2irc and hackagebot.)

Please let me know whether you agree. Also you might be interested in moving your repo (http://code.galois.com/cgi-bin/gitweb?p=feed.git;a=summary) to github ? This would make it easier to publish my changes, either to the main repo or a branch or fork. Otherwise I'll need to get them to your repo somehow.

Thanks again, -Simon

thanks for feed. I'm just investigating a bug with rss2irc, and I think I'm seeing problems in the current feed on hackage. It lookas as if there's no way to get item updated date as opposed item published date, and getItemPublishDate actually gets the updated date in the case of an atom feed (http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/feed/0.3.8/doc/html/src/Text-Fee...).

I'd like to contribute a fix. Would you be able to make feed's repo public, eg on darcsden.com or github ?
