setlocale maintainership

Hello list. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/setlocale does not compile with ghc-7.8 because it has a manually written typeable instance. I emailed the author about this one month ago (May 15), but I have received no reply. Let us wait until September 1 2014, and then I could be allowed to upload a corrected version? Regards, Adam

Let us wait until September 1 2014, and then I could be allowed to upload a corrected version?
Is this sarcarsm? (I guess so.) I think in exceptional cases you should be allowed to fix a broken package earlier (which in general is a severe issue, due to the hazard of a psychological meltdown of the overstepped maintainer). Maybe you can dig out a prophesy somewhere that the world ends on August 31 2014? On 14.06.2014 21:30, adam vogt wrote:

I think it would be more productive to merge this package into unix than keep this tiny module. -- Vincent

Fwiw, you can submit bugs/issues at https://github.com/haskell/unix/issues

If you upload your fix somewhere, I'm sure one of the hackage trustees
can upload a fixed version for you. No need to go through the whole
package takeover procedure.

great, do you have a diff/patch of the fix on hand? (if a trustee uploads a
fix, they should probably eyeball what changes first :) )
