Robin Bate Boerop is the only person to express interest in taking over xhtml. I hereby hand it over to him. Let me know if you need any assistance with the practicalities. On 18 Jul 2010 18:04, "Bjorn Bringert" wrote:

I am listed as the current maintainer, but I don't have any time to work on it. Who would like to take over?

Hi,

I believe the xhtml package is currently unmaintained. As it is something that used to be distributed with GHC, is it something that libraries@ could/should take on?

Cheers,

Note that, as haddock now uses it, xhtml is part of a ghc tree in the HEAD. We have a darcs2 repo for it, without the pre-3000.2.0.1 history: http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/xhtml/

Why did you fork it? I thought the policy for packages ghc needs is to sync with an upstream?

I believe when Simon made the repo he couldn't find an upstream repo.

I guess Robin and you/the GHC team will need to decide which repo to keep going, then. Having both indefinitely would be horrible. Ganesh

It makes sense to have the repo at http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/xhtml/ be the upstream repo, and for GHC to sync with it. I haven't yet looked at the XHTML in GHC HEAD to see whether it is out of sync. If it is not, then that should be corrected, first.

Agreed?

According to Ian's previous email, GHC now has a completely fresh and incompatible (darcs-2) repo:

GHC uses the http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/* repos for its libraries. In some cases these are the main repo, and in other cases they are periodically synced with an upstream repo. For xhtml, an upstream repo on community probably makes most sense. Thanks Ian
