It's a good point. > The cdbs package is maintained in the collab-maint group at Alioth which > means all Debian developers already have write access and anyone else > can request membership of the group as well - just mention your reason > for needing such membership when requesting it: for helping co-maintain > cdbs. Would it be possible to make a CDBS release immediately when I, for instance, want a change in the haskell snippet to be in the archive, to make it sync with the new release of the dh_haskell* scripts? I'm assuming you're not saying I should include the dh_haskell* scripts in the CDBS package. If this is possible, I see no problem in moving hlibrary.mk to the cdbs package. > If Haskell is too fast-moving for maintainance with cdbs, then it might > make sense to separate tiny parts into something shipped with the Haskel > tools - similar to how Python ships their competing python-central and > puthon-module tools, which several CDBS snippets then make use of > through a commandline interface. Are you talking here about Makefiles or dh_* kind of scripts? Haskell is not too fast moving, but when there's a change needed, we often need it to be applied and released immediately, since there are libraries waiting to be uploaded.
