Maintainer of pngload listening?

Hi, Marko Lauronens email address from the package is invalid, so I'm trying to reach him this way. pngload doesn't compile with ghc >= 7.2 because of it's dependency to base and haskell98. Greetings, Daniel

Hi,
I am not the maintainer.
AFAIK, haskell98 is only used to import System in Test.hs.
You should be able to remove the dependency on haskell98 from the
cabal file and install the library without problems. In order to test
it, move Test.hs to a temp directory after installing the library, add
the following import to that file:
import "base" Prelude
And compile with:
ghc --make Test.hs -package haskell98 -XPackageImports -XNoImplicitPrelude
Cheers,
Ivan.

Hi,
I was reviewing old code and the same happened to me. A simpler (and
cleaner) solution is:
1. Remove dependency on haskell98
2. Remove "import System"
3. Add the following two imports:
import System.Environment
import System.Exit
No need to import prelude explicitly. The program should compile
without problems this way.
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Ivan, thanks, but l have been able to build it by myself. I just want to get the package updated and if the maintainer can't be reached, than ask for maintainership. Greetings, Daniel
