Re: [Haskell-cafe] Unmaintained packages and hackage upload rights

Well sorry to have introduced a diversion to you boys talking about your adorable little package management system with all your pretend discussions of how to make it easy to hijack packages because security is hard we just want to write code. I'll leave you kids alone. I've got better things to do than watch yet another software community make the exact same mistakes as every other bad community before it because somehow this time it'll be different. Enjoy your little toy package system kids. On 31/01/2014 09:28, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Again, do you have any suggestions to make things better?

Here I merely want people to realize that there is a problem. How to solve it is a whole new discussion.

I think plenty of people (including me) have already agreed that there is a problem. So I don't understand the point of your message about security, then.

It was a response to Evan Coskey, who introduced a bit of a diversion.
