Hi all, as some of you may have noticed Lambdabot doesn't build on GHC 7.6.1 due to OldException being removed (and a few other changes). I updated the code so that it builds on latest GHC release. The updated code is available here:
https://github.com/killy9999/lambdabot/tree/upstream It builds on Linux, but I am not 100% certain that it will build on Windows. If it doesn't I will be grateful for reporting this (and any other) issues on the bug tracker: https://github.com/killy9999/lambdabot/issues The changes required to make the code run weren't as small as I initially thought they will be. In some places this resulted in a bit ugly code, but aside from that I think that everything should work correctly. Now I would like to do a bit of maintanance on the project, since the code is a bit of a mess and it could use some cleanup. My plans are: - clean up the package namespace by placing existing modules in Lambdabot module - integrate lambdabot-utils into lambdabot (already done) - reformat the code so that it's easier to read ans if time allows: - cleanup some messy code - update the package dependencies so that lambdabot relies on maintained libraries (e.g. I thought about replacing readline with haskeline). This changes would be quite invasive and code wouldn't be compatible with the lambdabot repo on haskell.org. So before I start making any of them I would like to hear from the community if such changes in the source code of lambdabot would be considered helpful and acceptable.
