The arithmoi package[1] does not build on GHC 7.8.1, and the maintainer does not appear to be reachable. diagram-contrib[2] depends on arithmoi, which is why I and others have been working on this. Brent reported the build failure on 2013-12-23[3]. Carter Schonwald and I wrote a patch[4] mid-February. After Austin Seipp provided ghc-prim-compat[5], I wrote an new patch[6] using that module. Daniel Fischer, the author of arithmoi, has not replied to either pull request, nor to an email I sent him a week ago today. Unless someone knows other channels by which to reach Daniel Fischer, I'd like to request that someone upload my patched version of arithmoi to Hackage. I'm not sure how this process usually works; are there other steps I should take?

Sorry, I'm going through a phase of extreme lack of drive and energy to do anything programming related. (And the 7.8 release was always still not yet quite imminent, so I pushed it away for another day...) Let me see if I can pull and test today. And if I figure out how, I could add Brent or you to the list of people allowed to upload on Hackage. Many thanks to Brent, Carter and you for your efforts, Daniel
dan, thanks for surfacing. i can (with your permission, using my hackage trustee powers) add myself or brent or dan to the arithmoi package uploaders group. I do think arithmoi does need a benchmarking suite to justify some of the current code it has, but thats a different project for another day :) On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 1:14 PM, Daniel Fischer < daniel.is.fischer@googlemail.com> wrote:

I know how that is.

Sounds great. Thank you.
