Hi folks, I've decided to retire as a Gentoo dev.
I've been a dev for almost exactly 3 years as part of the Haskell team. I was team leader for a year or so. I managed to recruit kolmodin a couple years ago and handed team leadership over to him a few months ago. It's now his turn to recruit some more people to keep the Haskell team well staffed. My decision is based on real world time commitments. I'm in the late stages of writing up my PhD thesis and I've recently started a Haskell consultancy company <shameless-plug href="www.well-typed.com"/>. I don't intend to do much less work packaging but I intend to shift my focus from Gentoo packaging to the central Haskell packaging infrastructure http://hackage.haskell.org/. All QA improvements there benefit Gentoo. I'll still have commit access to the haskell overlay and to the hackport tool for automatically converting packages hackage->portage. I'll still be in #gentoo-haskell if you want to find me. I'd like to thank everyone for being welcoming and friendly and answering my stupid questions. Thanks especially to the arch teams for all the time they put in for us in testing and stabilising Haskell packages on such a wide range of platforms. I feel I should also apologise to jer for constantly breaking ghc on hppa ;-). Thanks also to jakub for his work filtering and redirecting bugs to us, along with the occasional helpful insight. Best of luck everyone. -- Duncan Coutts : (ex-)Gentoo Developer (Haskell team) -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
