Help me abandon cryptsy-api #286

Closed stephen-smith closed 3 years ago

stephen-smith commented 3 years ago

I no longer want cryptsy-api on my personal RSS feed: http://packdeps.haskellers.com/feed/bss@iguanasuicide.net

I'm listed as a maintainer on the package metadata, but I am forbidden from making changes to the package, even after logging in to Hackage.

Honestly, this package can be safely removed -- it connects to a propietary API for a company that hasn't existed for many years. But, if it can't / won't be removed, it should have all the deprecated / abandoned / do-not-use bits that hackage has set on it.

From the reddit thread, it sounds like you removed yourself from the maintainer group on Hackage, and now can't get back in. I don't have the permissions to fix that; you might need to ask a Hackage admin. I do have permissions to set the "deprecated" flag on the cryptsy-api package, however, and have done so.

Hopefully one of the other trustees will be able to put you in touch with someone who can restore your maintainer access.

i've edited the maintainer in the cabal metadata of the latest version to [none]. hopefully that suffices?

Yes. Worked great. Thank you very much.
