http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/MichaelCombs28/elm-mdl/latest elm-mdl has a fork which is upgraded for Elm 0.18, whereas the 'official' debois/elm-mdl has not been upgraded yet. Which is why I am wondering if this is happening because of the bump to 0.18. I guess people are not prepared to do it the nice way, which would be to ask the author(s) if they would accept help to bump to 0.18, do the work and make a pull-request, then politely but persistenly ask for the work to be published. I'm still waiting on a few packages before I can move up to 0.18, but I would not take the approach of publishing forks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
