hi, i would like to take over as maintainer of the liboleg package on hackage http://hackage.haskell.org/package/liboleg. i have gotten permission from the author (oleg) and the current maintainer (don) regarding the same via email. my hackage username is shergill. if there are no objections, could i be added to the maintainer group for liboleg and be granted upload rights? -- Suhail

As a user, it would be nicer if the collection is split into separate libraries based on functionality. I think his has been done for some of Oleg's ideas (reflection, iteratee, etc). Just throwing in my $0.02 even though you didn't ask :)

Hi Suhail,
In principle, maintainers can (and should) do this themselves. There's
a link to the "maintainer's corner" at the bottom of the package page,
which allows adding and removing of maintainers.
In cases where the maintainer is unresposive/unavailable, we (hackage
admins) can do it, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Regards,
Erik

though don did grant me permission via email, i never heard back from him when i asked him to add me to the maintainers group (i verified by trying to log in to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/liboleg/maintain). should i be able to access that area *before* i upload a copy of liboleg, or only afterwards? i'm cc-ing don to this thread as well. since this will be the first time i'll be maintaining a package on hackage it's possible i'm making some fundamental mistake; if so please do correct me (and excuse my bumbling ways). -- Suhail

Oleg, Don: could you either: 1) Add Suhail to the maintainers for liboleg. This is the best option, since us having to do this for every package doesn't scale. 2) Tell us it's ok, but you don't want to/can't add Suhail. In that case we'll do it. Suhail, you should be able to access that area once you are a maintainer, before you upload the package. Regards, Erik
