GOA broken with recent lambdabots

GOA is broken with recent lambdabots, according to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/goa-3.0.2 It certainly fails to compile for me (like this http://hpaste.org/46994/goa_build_failure ) From the fact that it is known to be broken, should I infer that it is a difficult problem that would take an expert a long time to fix? Or is it broken merely because nobody has got around to fixing it, and would somebody (like me) who is not a Haskell expert and has never looked into the source of lambdabot or GOA, stand a chance of fixing it?

I can fix it tonight. Not a big deal. Curious; do people still use GOA? Ciao.

Great. Thanks.

It sounds like a very useful tool, but as I have never managed to install it yet, I don't know what it will be like in reality. I do imagine myself using it though. I run GHCi within my Emacs, which allows me to interactively test ideas while I'm writing programs, and GOA promises to put so many more useful tools at my fingertips built in to the same environment. It looks *very* useful.

In the past I've used it when I don't want to login to IRC and talk to lambdabot. Recently I've just been pinging lambdabot instead of using GOA. Six months from now I might use GOA instead of lambdabot. If the fixes are easy then I say it's a win. Jason
