Some time ago I even started to design my own comlib. It is quite different from HDirect's comlib but is more closer in spirit to Haskell's FFI lib. It isn't completed yet but if someone is interested in I would upload it in darcs next week. It is living in Foreign.COM namespace. Cheers, Krasimir On 1/12/07, shelarcy wrote:

Hi Sigbjorn,

Is there any plan to transition from CVS to darcs?

HDirect is removed from darcs'ing fptools, and left cvs long ago. Because HDirect is not active.

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2005-October/026817.html

But HDirect is updated sometime. (We can see HDirect moves 'comlib' into a hierarchic setting, System.Win32.Com.* two month ago.)

And Visual Haskell project changes comlib. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2006-September/018445.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2006-September/018037.html

Unfortunately these changes are independent. It forks comlib now. So I want to know what is common change both repository and what is useful change both version, easily.

I think darcs'ing HDirect and two comlib branch realise it. And that helps to revive Visual Haskell's HDirect that can generate it's comlib source code.

Best Regards,

you may want to check out the CVS version of HDirect, which does have a version of the compiler which is reasonably up-to-date wrt GHC + Cabalized versions of both the 'comlib' and 'hdirect' libraries.

I apologize for not having the time to work on or support that code.
