cvs.haskell.org down? haskell-mode abandoned?

Attempting to update haskell-mode, I've been getting authorization failures from the cvs.haskell.org pserver. I thought this might have some connection to the recent disk crash, and as nobody uses cvs anymore, it could have been overlooked. In any case, I need it fixed before I can work on haskell-mode. Preferably by migrating haskell-mode over to cvs. :-) On a different note, I've been unable to contact the apparent current maintainer of haskell-mode, while in a state of having a useful patch. Though it may already have made it to cvs, with me simply being unable to check that.. actually, who *is* the current maintainer? The last release was Dec. 2007. -- Svein Ove Aas

You mean migrating to DaRCS? That would be appreciated, yes.

Last I heard, it was me. But if someone wants to take over, he's welcome. Stefan

Um, yes. I can get the revision history into darcs pretty easily, such as it is, assuming cvs.haskell.org comes back up. Then I'll put the repository somewhere you can get at it. That fine?

You're saying you don't have time to maintain it? I'd like to say I could take over, but really, I'm not familiar enough with either elisp or haskell-mode to do that, and I don't currently have the time to familiarize myself with it either, so I know how that is. Still, there needs to be a new release, and I've got a lot of improved haskell-mode code (written by other people) that isn't currently in the repository. I can handle that much, if nobody else steps up. -- Svein Ove Aas

Yes, that would be wonderful. Ideally, it will eventually make it into something like darcs.haskell.org.

Pretty much, yes. At least, I don't think I've done a good job maintaining it over the last couple years.
Still, there needs to be a new release,
Yes, urgently.

Can you show me the patches? Stefan

Hi, I just wanted to say that I'd be really happy to see haskell-mode in code.haskell.org. I think it will make it easier for people to hack on it. Thanks, Johan

Another option is http://patch-tag.com/ Cheers Ben

Sure, once cvs.haskell.org comes back up. :P It's mostly newer variants of haskell-indentation.el, with a little homegrown code. Well, you can see what I'm currently running at http://brage.info/~svein/haskell-mode/; the other stuff is all the same as what's in CVS. I think. -- Svein Ove Aas
