I've written some bindings for POSIX named semaphores and shared memory objects, which I'd like to submit for inclusion into the `unix' package. However, I can't seem to do so through the proper channels, as a couple things seem to be broken at the moment: 1. Account creation on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac isn't working: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/srv/trac/ghc/trac.htpasswd' . 2. The HEAD version of `unix' depends on the HEAD version of `Cabal', which currently won't build: Distribution/Compat/TempFile.hs:6:7: Could not find module `IO': it is a member of package haskell98, which is hidden As soon as these things are resolved I'll submit a proper patch. For the time being, I've put the extensions into a separate package, attached. -- Daniel Franke df@dfranke.us http://www.dfranke.us |----| =|\ \\\\ || * | -|-\--------- Man is free at the instant he wants to be. -----| =| \ /// --Voltaire
