git-annex dependencies and co-maintainership

[Elliott Sales de Andrade]

Hi all,

As you may or may not have noticed, I've added about 50-60 new packages for
Haskell recently. These are all in the hopes of finally updating git-annex.
I'm about 1 or 2 away from that goal now [1].

Since Haskell packages seem to be so intertwined, I don't think it's a good
idea to be a single maintainer. Is there some Haskell SIG I can add as a
co-maintainer? If not, are there any volunteers to co-maintain any of these
packages? (You can find the list in the link below).

Hi Elliot,

First a big thanks for all the packaging work you are doing to get
git-annex finally updated in Fedora. :-)

You are right we should have a haskell-sig group in git...
If someone can point me at how to that I am happy to set it up.

I did try to set up a haskell-sig group for copr a while back, though
we haven't used it yet.
Dunno if it can be used for Fedora too?

I am very happy to be comaintainer for the packages, and also happy to
add you to any of the relevant packages there.

I am a provenpackager though so it is not essential - I have been kind
of helping to maintain all the Haskell packages in recent years since
everyone else seems busy and it is tricky to coordinate building. But
open to ideas on how to improve or share it.

My general principle now is to follow Haskell Stackage LTS versions
(currently most packages are early LTS 8.
So I am kind of thinking to do one LTS build per Fedora release
roughly, though it could be more frequent if we want.

Thanks, Jens

Wow!! That's a lot. Good work!!

I'm happy to co-maintain a few packages. Should I just give you a list
or are there packages you would see co-maintainership of?

Kind Regards,

No, I do not have any particular preferences; if any seem interesting to
you, let me know.

Hi Róman,

Sorry, I meant to reply last week, but you now have commit access on all of
the below packages.
