I was wondering if there is any interest in having POpen
http://www.01.246.ne.jp/~juhp/haskell/popenhs/
included in the new haskell libraries?
Yes, in principle. Although popen() is part of Posix these days so if/when the Posix library is rewritten it should become part of that. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/popen.html I just looked at the tarball (wow, 276k of packaging goop for 3k of code, that's pretty impressive :-) and there shouldn't be any problem with us just pulling it into the current Posix library for the time being. Would you mind changing the license to a BSD-style license? If not, we'll have to put the code in a separate package in another part of the repository (see the libraries document for the current licensing policy). Cheers, Simon
