Re: Maintainship of edit-distance and lattices

Hi, to make it clear. I don’t want to drastically change lattices or edit-distance; I use them and they are ok, wouldn’t use otherwise. There are only few things on top of my mind, I could make as a maintainer: - add Eq, Ord, Show etc instances to data types there: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lattices-1.2.1.1/docs/Algebra-Lattice-Dro... - make point-wise instances for Lattice b => Lattice (a -> b) (same way as with Monoid) - write tests edit-distance would benefit from `cabal test` too (there are tests, but as executables). Then they’ll be run by stackage builds. - Oleg

I use http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lattices heavily so I care what becomes of it, but haven't had issues with it.

I too have noticed he's not around though with his other packages.

I have no hurry with lattices, as it compiles with 7.10 ok.

Hi Oleg,

edit-distance is also being tracked here: https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/19 Please update it with a link to this discussion.

You can also open a new issue for lattices so we can keep track of the progress for it as well.

Max doesn’t seem to be active on GitHub, there are - a PR to edit-distance fixing the build on GHC 7.10, open for 26 days: https://github.com/batterseapower/edit-distance/pull/3

I have a pull request open for over a year. It was minor, so I didn't follow up on it: https://github.com/batterseapower/edit-distance/pull/2

- a PR to lattices opened at Jan 8 2015 (open for over 3 months already) https://github.com/batterseapower/lattices/pull/3

I could take over the maintainership of the packages, if Max doesn’t respond in two weeks

There have been other, similar requests to Max within the last 2 years or so, and I don't think there were any responses. I would be in favor of somebody else taking over as maintainer.
