[ANN] bytestring-0.11.4.0
by Matthew Craven 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

On behalf of the maintainers team I'm happy to announce that bytestring-0.11.4.0 (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.11.4.0) is finally released. Highlights from the changelog ( https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/blob/0.11.4.0/Changelog.md) * A serious bug in `instance Lift ShortByteString` has been fixed. * `Builder` literals no longer break `warp` versions older than 3.3.22 by demanding too large of a buffer. * `unsafeIndex` is once again exported from Data.ShortByteString.Internal. * Many operations on `ShortByteString` have been made much more efficient. Many people contributed their time and effort to make this release happen. Thanks to all of them! Just to name a few, in no particular order: * Alexander Biehl * Xia Li-yao * Sergey Vinokurov * Viktor Dukhovni * Julian Ospald * Andreas Klebinger * Simon Jakobi * Andrew Lelechenko * every contributor to the older bytestring releases Happy Haskelling! ~-Matthew Craven (Hopefully the send is successful this time!)

CLC Election January 2023
by Andrew Lelechenko 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

The terms of three CLC members are ending in January, so we are seeking new nominations! # Who should apply? Anyone who meets the following criteria should apply: * Candidates should have enough bandwidth to review merge requests to `base` on a semi-frequent basis (3 to 5 per month), and sustain this for their 3 years term in a healthy manner. * Candidates should be able to contribute opinions and analysis to issues raised by the community as a part of the CLC proposal process on a semi-frequent basis (3 to 5 per month). * Candidates should be good communicators, and at least be able to articulate to the CLC team when they will be available vs. unavailable. * Candidates should be productive, and be able to follow through on merge requests and conversations to their completion in a diligent and timely manner. We encourage any and all who satisfy these requirements to apply. Please note that we are not looking for the biggest galaxy brain in the room - quite the opposite. We are looking for productive, motivated individuals who want to help support the ecosystem that we love. As such, we hope to build a broad sample of the community. # How can I apply? To apply for one of these positions, send an email to clc.nominations.2023(a)gmail.com that consists of the following data: * The header “CLC Election January 2023 - {your name}”. * Why you think you’re a good fit given the above criteria. * If applicable, please point us to some code you’ve written. Please apply before Feb 1. Best regards, Andrew

characterization of subset of Monads that respect tail calls?
by Carter Schonwald 28 Sep '22

28 Sep '22

Hello everyone! a recent conversation I has having led to an interesting question: is there a good interface or something for Monads which guarantee tail calls are tail calls? (ideally via a stronger api assumption for tail position computations in a monad rather than "trustme" style api contracts) thx -Carter

Maintaining lambdabot and dice
by Naïm Favier 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

I'd like to take over maintainership of the dice and lambdabot packages so that I can take care of GHC 9 support (https://github.com/lambdabot/dice/pull/2 and https://github.com/lambdabot/lambdabot/pull/204) The GitHub repo has been inactive since November 2021. I have contacted the current maintainer on IRC, where he is active, but he hasn't answered. Cheers

Seeking a new maintainer for Edison
by Rob 11 Sep '22

11 Sep '22

I have for some time now been the nominal maintainer of the Edison collection of libraries, which consist of a variety of data-structure implementations originally derived from Chris Okasaki’s book “Purely Functional Data Structures.” See: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/EdisonAPI https://hackage.haskell.org/package/EdisonCore This library has recently received less attention than it probably deserves as I do not have the time or energy to devote to it. As such, I’m looking for a new maintainer who is willing to take up the mantle. Please reach out if you are interested in taking over. Cheers, Rob

Package takeover request for fgl
by Troels Henriksen 30 Aug '22

30 Aug '22

I am requesting to take over the package fgl: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/fgl It is currently broken in GHC 9.4, which is fixed by this pull request: https://github.com/haskell/fgl/pull/104 The maintainer Ivan Miljenovic has not been active on GitHub since January. I wrote Ivan on August 12th offering to help out with maintenance, but have received no response yet. The package is part of the 'haskell' organisation on GitHub. I don't know whether that is supposed to signify some kind of "community maintenance" (it appears Ivan is not the original author of fgl), but I would eventually need Hackage upload rights as well.

Takeover of misfortune
by Naïm Favier 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Hi, I'd like to take over maintainership of the misfortune package. I am trying to port lambdabot to GHC 9 (see https://github.com/lambdabot/lambdabot/pull/204) and misfortune is one of the blockers. There is a PR to fix it (https://github.com/mokus0/misfortune/pull/5) but the repository hasn't been updated in seven years. I emailed the maintainer on 2022-03-27 but they haven't answered yet.

Package takeover request for rapid
by Markus Läll 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hi I would like to take over https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rapid The author of the package Ertugrul Söylemez, once an active member of the community perhaps best known for netwire, passed away in 2018. [1] The work required for the package thus far, and for which I've kept a fork for, is to bump version bounds as GHCs progress. [1] https://github.com/esoeylemez/rapid/pull/2#issuecomment-427065739 -- Markus Läll
