https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216707 --- Comment #37 from arrowd <6yearold@gmail.com> --- (In reply to John Marino from comment #36) > Your proposal needs to include all CPAN, rubygems, and python ports that fall into the same category, then, no? I can't say for these languages, as I haven't used them. When Haskell ports were starting, Haskell package ecosystem was in such state, that you would quickly get into dependencies hell if you install packages globally (read /usr/local). Haskell ports were solving this problem by providing subset of all Haskell packages that are guaranteed to work together. But now a) Haskell package manager has "sandbox" feature that allows to easily prepare whatever environment you need. b) There is ports-like project that releases package sets with known-to-work-together versions. So now ports are complete duplication of this work. > Nudge the Haskell team. They might be quiet but they are still around. Last post on maillist was October 2015. Last commit in the development repo was on February 2016. IRC channel is silent for 6 months. Even when the team was active, it was only pgj@, so there isn't a team even. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.help
