Hi all, I'd like to take over maintenance responsibility for the `unix-compat` package. Unfortunately, I've been unable to get in touch with the maintainer.
I intend to make a release compatible with `unix-2.8`, and will be around to make subsequent bounds bumps and whatnot.
Hi Mitchell, I made some contributions to unix-compat over the years and found that the current maintainer, while sometimes a bit slow to respond to PRs, is actually quite responsive when prompted via email. (Just a data point, not to suggest you haven't tried that.)
@Ben, this might have been so in the past, but recent evidence suggests otherwise. [...]
Fair enough, thanks for the details.
Because unix-compat is quite important for the Haskell ecosystem and (is already not maintained by the original authors), I think we should find a solution quickly and move on with the package takeover.
FWIW I completely agree. I am happy to see this package properly maintained. Cheers Ben -- I would rather have questions that cannot be answered, than answers that cannot be questioned. -- Richard Feynman
