Bug#962973: haskell-readline: Removal notice: broken and unmaintained
It could be converted to haskeline or raw IO, but gnu readline is the kind of library I think it makes sense to have language bindings to, and to use the bindings. This patch seems to fix the build problem: --- readline-1.0.3.0.orig/readline.cabal2020-06-17 17:09:11.438264895 -0400 +++ readline-1.0.3.0/readline.cabal 2020-06-17 17:11:23.524724389 -0400 @@ -29,5 +29,5 @@ build-depends: base < 3 include-dirs:include includes:HsReadline.h - install-includes:HsReadline.h HsReadlineConfig.h + install-includes:HsReadline.h c-sources: HsReadline_cbits.c I've sent this patch to the author of the library. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Source: haskell-readline Version: 1.0.3.0-9 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable This package seems to be unmaintained (last upstream upload in 2013). Does not build with GHC 8.8, is not part of Stackage and has no rev dependencies. I intend to remove this package. -- Ilias
