Request to take over `xmlbf` and `xmlbf-xeno` #353

Closed parsonsmatt closed 1 year ago

parsonsmatt commented 1 year ago

Upstream issue, creatd 4 weeks ago: https://gitlab.com/k0001/xmlbf/-/issues/33

The test suite is broken on GHC 9.4, reported 10 months ago with no response

The git repo has a new version with no release. Release requested May '21, no response

A prior release request in Jan '20 was ignored

Tagging @k0001 just in case.

I haven't seen any activity from Renzo online for quite some time. I hope he's doing well. :(

k0001 commented 1 year ago

I'm doing well, thank you. Just busy with other things. I'll try to attend to those issues this weekend. No need to take over.

If I remember correctly, the takeover process requires trying to contact the current maintainer by email. See https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package

The current maintainer and original author is Renzo Carbonara. Checking the hackage releases, e.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmlbf , no maintainer email is given here. The author could be identical with the author of this web page: https://atypeofprogramming.com/ This contact email is given there: hola@atypeofprogramming.com It might be worth trying to reach the author there.

If the author is unreachable, the takeover process requires you to state the takeover intent in a public, frequented Haskell forum ("we recommend the haskell-cafe and/or libraries list").

Note that to facilitate the takeover, the Hackage Admins need to be involved. If I am not mistaken, the Hackage Trustees are not concerned with takeovers. (Certainly, they lack the powers to facilitate such a takeover on Hackage.)

Ah, ok, just now the author responded. I guess I can close this then...

Precisely.
