[Haskelldb-users] HaskellDB now in Darcs on cvs.haskell.org

[<bri...@cs...>]

Hi folks,

after swearing at CVS for a while when trying to start working with=20
HaskellDB again, I set up a Darcs repo on cvs.haskell.org instead. Get=20
your copy with:

darcs get http://cvs.haskell.org/darcs/haskelldb/

I intend to use this repo for all my future work on HaskellDB. I hope=20
those of you who are interested in contributing will do the same. At the=20
moment the repo is only writable by me. If anyone else wants write=20
access, let me know.

Does anyone know what the story is for setting up write access for=20
multiple developers to darcs repos on cvs.haskell.org by the way?

Great!

Wouldn't it be better to follow the darcs' development model, where
there is a maintainer who receives patches by email and applies them
after reviewing and testing?

The amount of patches for HaskellDB will probably be quite low,
at least compared to projects like GHC or darcs. I don't mind
being wrong ;-)

Best regards
Tomasz

Yeah, I guess that's the way it will be. I just didn't want to usurp the=20
position of maintainer in case there is someone else who would like to=20
have a say in what's going on.

So, until further notice, the way to contribute to HaskellDB is to send=20
me patches.


To get your interest in HaskellDB back up, here are some things I've=20
worked on lately:

- Fully cabalizing the whole thing, getting rid of all the=20
configure/make stuff. Seems to be finished.

- Fixing the dynamic driver, which uses hs-plugins to load drivers=20
dynamically. Seems to work.

- Changing DBDirect to use the dynamic driver. Done.

- Changing the HSQL support to use HSQL 1.7. Some problem with=20
converting from SQL to Haskell types remaining. Not sure if it's a=20
HaskellDB or HSQL problem. This is the next thing I will look at.


Some things that would be nice to do. Help is very welcome:

- Adding support for the new HSQL backends, e.g. Oracle.

- Creating some sort of test suite. This would really be a great help.
