Good day.
Recently, in irc://#haskell you can see very often replicas of people, who are tired of waiting their hackage accounts. After next release of any package from hackagebot, some depressed people definitely comes out and starts telling to everybody how hard life is without having hackage account.
Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't realize that it's hard to get a hackage account right now. I'm not sure what I can directly do, but I'll try some things (like contacting Ross, seeing about having a backup contact or automation). I think the right solution is that everyone can get a hackage account. Jason
11:15 * hackagebot shakespeare 1.0.0.2 - A toolkit for making compile-time interpolated templates http://hackage.haskell.org/** package/shakespeare-1.0.0.2http://hackage.haskell.org/package/shakespeare-1.0.0.2(MichaelSnoyman) 11:15 <|> I'm still waiting for my Hackage account... ... 15:12 * hackagebot hspec-discover 0.0.0 - Automatically discover and run Hspec tests http://hackage.haskell.org/**package/hspec-discover-0.0.0http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hspec-discover-0.0.0(SimonHengel) 15:13 <|> Still haven't got my hackage account
And so on and so on.
Yes, you can tolerate, that a lot of people considered in the order of things for asking lambdabot in public window every day, every hour. Yes, you can tolerate, that every five minutes some another notification from hackagebot will be be appeared, or maybe two or even three in a time. But how can you tolerate, that adding to all that stuff there is a permanent disturbances from the people, who can't submit their packages to hackage because they have no hackage account (frankly speaking, I'm also do not have one, but I've send 5 letters to Ross)?
Previously, #haskell's log was really like something readable and interesting. But now it's a robot-like speeches with 2 bots, minimal slightly mixed with something really meaningfull.
This raises some questions: 1) Did anyone successfully get their hackage account in last 2 months? Because it's really strange to see some "still don't have my hackage account"-message and another Ross answer in HC. 2) You should give hackage account for all of ther requiring people or remove hackagebot from #haskell. 3) Could I finally have my hackage account in the amount of all others, please?
