Hi Mateusz,

Sounds good. I don't think Max is active anymore [1] and many of his other packages have been taken over in the past years. Also given that Roman also stated his intention to take over the package more than a year ago, I think it's no problem to transfer maintainership to you on Monday (even though the normal term is at least 2-6 weeks). It also seems that this is not blocking the move back to temporary, since there's currently no difference between the two packages.

I've created an issue on the hackage trustee tracker [2] to track the takeover.

Regards,

Erik

Hi,

I'm looking to take over the ‘temporary’ package. This is to address the issue of any patches/fixes into ‘temporary’ not being merged in a timely manner[1]. This caused Roman Cheplyaka to create a fork package, ‘temporary-rc’. It's less than ideal to have some packages use temporary and others use temporary-rc (PackageImports needed…) so this is in attempt to bring back temporary as the one true package to use here and let the fork fall into obscurity, preferably deprecated.

The main user of temporary-rc is the popular tasty package which is Roman's. If me/him/us both/someone (reliable/available) can take over temporary, he seems to be willing to go back to using that instead of the fork[2].

CCing the current maintainer. I think until Monday (27th) is a fair notice though I point out more time elapsed on [1] without a reply.

Well, there is the takeover policy [1], which tries to balance the good of the community with the sense of ownership package developers have. I think that, combined with the ability of trustees to do quick fixes, we're in pretty good shape to avoid both breakage of the package ecosystem and at the same time giving people enough ownership rights of their packages on hackage.

+1. I think adding trusted developers as co-maintainers for unmaintained packages should be a rather quick process. After all, once something on hackage and others to depend on it, ownership has little value in comparision to the common good of the community...
