I'm sure this came up already, but just in case it didn't: we largely have two non-developers maintaining the ::haskell overlay, and they've been doing so since slyfox's retirement. Since there's an ongoing thread about recruitment... has anyone thought about letting them do their work in ::gentoo instead?

Yes, I (and others) have encouraged them to do the quiz and offered mentoring them. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It'd be great to have them as developers and I've offered to help mentor them, as have others. This is a similar style cleanup to what we did with OCaml / dev-ml/*. If people want to keep some packages, we can talk about that, sure - but help would be needed to look after their dependencies. signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP

Hi there, Goatee author here, On Sat, 23 Jul 2022 02:49:45 +0100 Sam James wrote: > # Sam James (2022-07-22) > # Monolithic mask for dev-haskell/* packages which have no reverse > dependencies, > # are broken, or severely out of date.

It should require little work at the moment, since I'm porting to Qt and goatee-gtk isn't getting new features. I do get the burden of maintaining two repos for Haskell though, and I have always had a smoother experience using ::haskell than the main tree, so I am fine with this move and appreciate the inclusion in the main tree in the first place. dev-games/goatee can be included in the mask too.
