Current maintainer of the VTY package?
Hi, Does anybody know the current maintainer of the VTY package? http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/vty I have a patch to resolve an issue I was running into while using the Yi editor. I attempted to Stefan O'Rear <stefanor@cox.net> but received no reply. The suspicion is that he is no longer the maintainer of this package. -- -Corey O'Connor

Fate of the message: Filed while trying to think of the best way to put my response, then forgotten. Current maintainer of vty: You. I wrote vty some time ago because I needed terminal IO for a roguelike project and could not get curses to act in a sane way; then a while later I did a different project in Haskell, and the Obvious Thing To Do was translate my understood library. #haskell persuaded me to release it, and I regret this greatly - jyp picked up vty for use in Yi, and now I'm stuck maintaining a library I neither use, care about, nor to any great extent remember how it works. I'd dearly love to get this thing off my shoulders - will you take it? There is definitely a need. Stefan

No worries. :-)

Sure! My primary goal is to optimize it's use with Yi. Still, I'll be happy to take on maintenance. I've pulled my copy of the repo to: http://www.tothepowerofdisco.com/repo/vty/ And updated the "maintainer:" field of the cabal specification. Aside from updating the reference to what URL the package can get retrieved from and updating Hackage, I'm not sure what else is required. -Corey
