I took haskell-hgl from Squeeze (3.2.0.2) and refreshed the packaging a
bit to make it at least current for Wheezy. I added some Quilt patches
to transition to the new Control.Exception try/catch and replaced the
use of Control.Concurrent.Chan with Control.Concurrent.STM.
It builds cleanly in a *Wheezy* and *Sid* chroots. And everything I've
written on top of HGL works as expected.
Patches have already been forwarded upstream.
Shall I create a new repo and push? Is the old package going to revive
and I push on top? Please advise on how to proceed.
