Cheers, Max I found Eric Sessoms' blog[0], he writes (via speech recognition software), that he cannot type because of tendinitis in his hands. That probably explains why he does not answer; maybe someone willing to take over maintenance can contact him via Skype or something like that. Other packages with his name in the maintainer field: - erlang - fitsio - scgi Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl [0] http://esessoms.posterous.com/ -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html -- ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] is datetime actively maintained?
I've already modified the dev versions of filestore and gitit so they don't depend on datetime. This should solve the problem. I expect to be releasing new versions of both before long.
