Re: [htoolkit-users] HSQL defunct?

Hi Frederik and Bryan, The latest darcs repository for HSQL is here: http://darcs.haskell.org/HSQL/ I have to admit that I didn't have enough energy to maintain the HSQL in the last two years. If someone voluntee to take the HSQL maintaince then he is highly welcome. There are some new features like prepared statements and large binary objects that aren't completed/tested yet and this should be done before the next official release.

Is there going to be a new maintainer for HSQL? I have submitted a number of patches to fix some painful bugs. It's been almost a year since my previous enquiry and the last release was December 15, 2005, over two years ago:

I think that if it's sat moribund for this long, you could reasonably declare yourself the maintainer by fiat. Some OSS communities have a formal process for declaring packages as orphaned, but I don't think we're big enough for that.

If you don't mind the idea of taking the HSQL package over, perhaps you should follow the same steps Don did with the X11 package:

* declare your intention to take over in a message to libraries@ * wait a week for someone to pop up with an objection * if nobody does, upload a new release with your fixes to Hackage
