Call for maintenance: Packages in git repos



Dear team,

a long time ago we decided not to force Darcs upon all of us, because
the git fraction of the DHG was relatively large. Since then, people
have come and gone, and it seems to me that this has changed: Of the
following 25 packages maintained in git, only 6 have been uploaded to
experimental so far

$ ssh git.debian.org ls /git/pkg-haskell/
agda-bin.git
agda.git
allpackages.git
bustle.git
ftphs.git
haskell-bloomfilter.git
haskell-configfile.git
haskell-convertible.git
haskell-edit-distance.git
haskell-github.git
haskell-hsh.git
haskell-network-info.git
haskell-network-multicast.git
haskell-safesemaphore.git
haskell-testpack.git
haskell-uri.git
hdbc.git
hdbc-odbc.git
hdbc-postgresql.git
hdbc-sqlite3.git
hoauth.git
hslogger.git
ldap-haskell.git
magic-haskell.git
missingh.git
$ for pkg in $(ssh git.debian.org ls /git/pkg-haskell/|grep git|cut -d.  -f1); do rmadison -s experimental $pkg; done
 haskell-configfile | 1.1.1-1 | experimental | source
 haskell-network-info | 0.2.0.1-3 | experimental | source
 haskell-network-multicast | 0.0.6-2 | experimental | source
 haskell-safesemaphore | 0.9.0-2 | experimental | source
 hslogger | 1.2.1+dfsg1-1 | experimental | source
 missingh | 1.2.0.0-1 | experimental | source

The others are sitting there and holding up a considerable share of
other depending packages.

I know that Darcs is not a silver bullet, but it it seems to work for
those who do the work, at the moment. Also, several VCSes just cause
extra work.

So unless the remaining 19 packages have been uploaded to experimental
soon, (say, within a week), I’ll convert these repositories to darcs
repository and do the upload myself.

If I am stepping on someone’s toes this way, then please excuse me: I do
not meant to hurt you, just to get you moving.

Greetings,
Joachim
