[Haskell-cafe] pqueue - repository and maintainer (taking over)

[lennart spitzner]

Greetings,

Regarding the pqueue package:

1) Does anyone have any (additional) contact details for the current
maintainer/author, Louis Wasserman?
2) Is the package's repository available anywhere? The darcs link
listed in the package 404s.
3) I would be willing to take over for basic maintenance if the
current maintainer is unavailable.

The pqueue package does not compile with ghc-7.10. Fixing requires
just some quick changes (i have a working version locally). The last
upload for the package is from 2012, but the author's github account
lowasser shows some more recent activity. Yet I have not received a
reply to my e-mail from six weeks ago.

Keeping track of this here: https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/38

Hi,

I have sent an email to the author two months ago about the same issue without receiving an answer either.

My version of the package since then is here: https://github.com/hsyl20/pqueue

In addition to making it compile with GHC 7.10, I have replaced all the tabs with spaces to remove the warnings.

I think Herbert helped me recover a copy of the Darcs  repo a while ago.  I'll check my email when I'm not traveling to see if I still have it. 

[Louis Wasserman]

Hmmm.  I may have a go at this over the weekend; I haven't done anything in a while but I will try to make some time.

Whoever takes over maintenance may want to consider producing unboxed versions.

[Louis Wasserman]

Um.  Hi.

I don't think I have much bandwidth to devote to maintaining this.  I'd prefer to retain author tags, but I'm happy if someone else wants to take over routine maintenance.

[Adam Bergmark]

Thanks for letting us know Louis!

Simplest way to proceed is for someone to give you their hackage user name so you can add them to the maintainer group: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pqueue/maintainers/edit

Cheers,

Adam

No, it's not; I never did put it up on github.

But I don't even know whether this is the official repository.

Louis, do you have that repo Herbert emailed you, or was that a different code base?

I just checked: my changes are almost identical. I use slightly
different imports to ensure backwards-compatability (i tested down to
ghc-7.2.2) and i removed the Typeable.h warning.

@Louis: ah, good to hear you are alive :)

[lennart spitzner]

Greetings; finally an update:

pqueue-1.3.0 is now live; finally ghc-7.10 compatibility :)
(tested with ghc-7.2 through ghc-7.10.2rc1.)

Louis kindly made me co-maintainer. I created a github repo, so if I
forgot to update anything you can use the issue-tracker over there :)

Glad to hear it!
