Hello all,
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:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65248
The software no longer compiles with the latest version of GHC, due to some (seemingly gratuitous) changes in the Cabal libraries (I see there is a September 2007 thread on libraries@). Unfortunately, I am too busy to maintain it myself; I was probably even too busy to write the patches in the first place, but it is sad to see them go to waste...
Gentoo has patches to make hsql-* build with ghc-6.8.x which you or any volunteer maintainer may find useful. Duncan
