Dear all, For the past couple of years, I have been quietly hacking on a brand new version of QuickCheck with lots of cool features. I have been distributing copies to some friends, but have not released any official package.
Now, after lots of peer pressure, the time has come that I want to release the current version as a Cabal package. I have been agonizing however over where in the module hierarchy the new QuickCheck package should be. There is currently an old QuickCheck version in the standard hierarchy in Test.QuickCheck. As the new QuickCheck is incompatible with the old one, I do not want to override that place. Rather, I would like to create my own little space in the hierarchy where the new version can sit and develop. It feels to me that there should be a convention that people use to add their own contributions to the module hierarchy without the danger of clashing with other packages. Proposals: Contrib.Chalmers.QuickCheck External.Chalmers.QuickCheck Chalmers.QuickCheck Contrib.Test.QuickCheck Contrib.QuickCheck The first three I like -- but not the last one; I don't want to rule out anyone else (except for my own colleagues :-) making their own version of QuickCheck and releasing it somewhere in the tree. What does one think? Regards, /Koen PS1. Previously discussions about this were referred to the libraries mailing list but I feel that this is of interest to the larger crowd too. PS2. I welcome myself back to the Haskell mailing list after years of inactivity :-) _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
