Hi all, To ease my maintenance burden, I've moved the network package repo to: http://github.com/haskell/network Patches are accepted either in the git mbox format, as normal (diff) patch files, or as GitHub pull requests. P.S. If you want to get added to the haskell GitHub organization, just drop me an email. Johan

Ah, the use of github is spreading :-) If I, as the developer of the FOO Haskell package, want to move to use github, can I get a source repo under that organisation as well? I'm asking since I am considering taking some of my packages from patch-tag to github (it's really github I want, it's unfortunate that it also means I'll have to leave darcs), it would then be nice to have those repos as a part of the haskell organisation. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

The GitHub organization was intended for core packages (i.e. packages in the Haskell Platform.) By having a shared organization, these libraries don't have to live under any single developer's account and we can change maintainers without changing the repo location. For any other package, just upload it under your own GitHub user. Johan

Fair enough. Do you have enough buy-in to make sure that the github organisation becomes the best location for *all* HP packages? That is, can I stop going to Hackage to find the home for HP packages? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Probably not. I don't want to force any maintainers to switch VCS. For now, I would just like to make it possible for people who prefer Git (and GitHub) to use that to maintain their packages. There's also an issue with libraries that GHC depends on: the current build system relies on being able to check these out using darcs. Johan

That's never been our intention. github is for in-progress source trees; Hackage is for releases of code.

You misunderstood me. Currently I go to Hackage to look for stuff like: Source repository git clone git://github.com/haskell/network.git If all of HP were on github, then I wouldn't have to click my way through Hackage when I wanted to get to the source repos. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
