seeking feedback on maintenance of original `connection` library #1

Hello, I noticed you are working on a fork of connection in the Network Graph: https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-connection/network

I am seeking feedback on how the original archived library can be maintained, and would appreciate your input: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/fork-of-archived-connection-a-k-a-hs-connection-library/8545

Thank you

I can tell you Vincent Hanquez has responded to that question before and said he will never transfer ownership and he will never continue working on the libraries. Basically, anything Vincent Hanquez has made for Haskell is a legacy library that will not change anymore.

He also said that anyone can fork a repo and make a new library (this is how and why Kazu forked cryptonite and published crypton). So if you'd like to "take over maintainership", you can do so whenever you want. The library just can't be called connection 👍

EDIT: I see now that this is literally that, a fork of the connection library. I wonder why it got the crypton prefix @kazu-yamamoto , it isn't specifically related to any cryptography, is it?

Thanks @Vlix, I was unaware of this. I see now crypton-connection is already on Hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/crypton-connection I will focus on using that.

I gave the crypton prefix to all forked libraries. I hope they all will be deprecated in the near future. One hope is here: https://github.com/haskellfoundation/tech-proposals/pull/57
