Hi everyone, My name is Marko and I just subscribed to the Debian Haskell list. With this email I'd like to see what's the state of Haskell support in Debian and provide help. As far as I can tell, this list has a dozen or so members and it doesn't seem too active. Am I right? I'd like to help with maintaining and adding new Haskell packages to Debian. A couple of years ago I was attempting to package a few C++ tools (from the software verification field), but failed to finish with that due to lack of upstream support in getting some adjustments and fixes. Recently I started getting payed for writing code in Haskell, which also made me think at what state is support for Haskell development in Debian. This of course includes the basics such as the Haskell platform, but also things like an IDE and supporting tools. In particular, to my mind come Stack, Haskell IDE Engine and the Atom editor, which I'd like to see packaged for Debian and I will like to work on that. I guess I'll also contribute to these projects upstream while on packaging them for Debian. Eventually, I also want to package Idris, a dependently typed functional language [1] that is implemented in Haskell. I've made a tiny contribution to Idris and have been learning it for a year now. If you have any comments or ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
