Hi,
I am the principal author of these packages:
haskell-funcmp http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18122 haskell-hopenssl http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17743 haskell-hsdns http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17745 haskell-hsemail http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17746 haskell-hsyslog http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17751
In March 2010, I published updates to these packages on Hackage and marked the corresponding entries in AUR out-of-date. Nothing happened.
In May, I added comments to the AUR pages, asking Don Stewart to please update the PKGBUILDs, but nothing happened.
In June, I posted to this very mailing list and requested that the packages please be disowned, but was referred to the Arch-Haskell mailing list instead. So I posted there, asking whether those packages could please be updated. Naturally, nothing happened.
By now, all of these packages have been out-of-date for over 4 months.
So ... could you PLEASE disown them so that I can take over maintenance?
Take care, Peter
Hi Peter, I can see that three out of the five packages you list were last updated in May and are no longer marked out-of-date. This means that for those three packages at least, there's no reason for disowning. Also, you mention that you were referred to the Arch-Haskell mailing list. If you posted there, can you provide a link to your opening message? I'd be interested to see what replies you got. I apologize if your requests seem to go unfulfilled, but --to me at least-- the situation with arch-haskell and the AUR is a bit unclear, so I'm not sure what action should be taken. Cheers.
