The program packages just don’t benefit that much from the group infrastructure and processes. So my bottom line would be: Packaging for Haskell-written programs is _welcome_ in the group if it’s convenient (e.g. because the maintainer needs sponsoring, or the package is part of a larger set that includes libraries anyways), but I don’t see the need to actively advocate it. Also, having lots of packages in the pool that need special handling (like programs where you have to worry about stuff like desktop files and whatnot) might dilute the groups’ efficiency. Greetings, Joachim BTW: Miriam, if you want to maintain haskell-sdl on the DHG, I hope you’ll join the d-haskell list, in which case I can take you off CC. Also check the two pkg-haskell-* lists on alioth. -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
