I've just written a few packages which I think may be useful, and have made them available as free opensource on a personal website http://functionalley.eu. I opted to host them there rather than uploading them to Hackage, because they're part of a wider project. The main offerings are; a regex-engine which is polymorphic in terms of the type of the input-data, a traditional character-based regex-engine derived from it, and an application to determine the most efficient order in which to pack files into a given storage-space. I understand this isn't the ideal venue in which announce new packages, but having looked briefly at the "haskell@haskell.org" mail-group and the cerebral offerings there, I'm rather concerned that my meagre offerings may resemble germs in a Dettol factory. Is there a more appropriate forum ? If anyone has the time, I'd also greatly appreciate any feedback on this s/w. Regards, Alistair Ward P.S. This is my first posting.

Wonderful, thank you!

Note that this means they won't be cabal installable or searchable. Was that your intention? -- Don

I am curious about this: wasn't cabal designed with the option of having several package repos in mind? please clarify/document --remote-repo http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/759 Claus

It supports remote Hackage repositories -- not arbitrary URLs (though that is planned). Search won't work though. -- Don

You can upload to hackage packages hosted (like webpage, code repo, bug tracker...) elsewhere - it similar to Ubuntu (or <insert your favourite distro here>) containing packages for KDE while not hosting KDE. Regards
Thanks for the feedback. That sounds interesting. I've not uploaded anything to hackage before, so perhaps such features will become more obvious after I've had a go. On Sat, 2010-11-06 at 18:19 +0000, Maciej Piechotka wrote:
