Hi, currently, our package plan lists these packages as obsolete: happstack 7.0.2 obsolete # needs old happstack-server happstack-heist 7.2.4 obsolete # needs old blaze-builder hoauth 0.3.5 obsolete iteratee 0.8.9.6 obsolete # needs old monad-control lambdabot 4.3.0.1 binary key obsolete # someone needs to patch mueval leksah 0.14.1.1 binary notest -fgtk3 -f-webkit -f-yi obsolete leksah-server 0.14.0.1 obsolete mueval 0.9.1.1 obsolete # old utf8-string, https://github.com/gwern/mueval/issues/9 rss2irc 1.0.6 binary obsolete yesod-routes 1.2.0.7 obsolete # deprecated I’m not sure what the story about the happstack packages is; other happstack packages were upgraded by upstream, and these here do not even work with the latest version of happstack-server. I would rather remove these two packages and stop wondering. hoauth is currently patched to work, but only kept alive due to twidge, whose maintainer has limited time: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784316 We can try to keep that package alive for a little longer, but eventually twidge development needs to take up speed again or it will have to go. iteratee looks like a not very important leaf package, I guess it can go. mueval is in the process of being taken over by others. But I also would not mind dropping it, were it not a dependency of lambdabot, but see below. yesod-routes is obsolete by upstream, removal bug filed. lambdabot and rss2irc are binaries, so not relevant for the next testing transition. Still, if these should stay in the long run, they need some love! The same holds for leksah-*, which got kicked out of testing. Who will take care of these? If these are removed (or taken care of), the recent uploads can go to testing, and then we can look into GHC-7.10. Maybe we should remove non -key-packages first, though, to have less work upgrading to 7.10.
