I never really finished at the the time, so I let it ly around on a repo of mine. Yesterday I updated it and realized you're moving haskell stuff out of the ports tree. Do you have any pointers to how to relate to this work, and what I can do to get pgbackrest into the ports tree? I remember there where more than 20 new haskell ports I had to add to get it working. >> >> Thanks >> Palle >> >> I skimmed through https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest <https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest>; repository and didn't find any Haskell sources. > > Haha, sorry, I was confused. postgrest [https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest>] is the name of the project. :-) > >> We don't keep ports for Haskell libraries anymore. That means, that if pgbackrest is a Haskell library, you don't need to port it.
