Hi, Duncan -<br>
<br>
The subject says it all. I'd like to contribute some patches to bytestring,<br>
but darcs is a big wall at this point, and the package has no bug tracker.<br>

<br>
Ah but that's because it has no bugs ;-)<br>
<br>
(It actually does have a bug tracker, it's a component in the ghc trac.<br>
It's true that it doesn't get used much, but then there have been very<br>
few bugs in recent years.)<br>

Crucially, it's not linked from the Hackage page; when I wanted to report a concern with ByteString I e-mailed the addresses in the bug-reports field and received no response.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring" target="_blank">http://hackage.haskell.org/<u></u>package/bytestring</a><br>
<br>
It wasn't terribly important, something about hGetSome being added in a minor version, but regardless the impression that I got was that there was nobody paying attention. Moving to Github would fix that but so would just updating the bug-reports field.<br>
<br>
(Nevertheless, I'm generally in favour of things moving to github since it reduces the number of user interfaces I have to think about, and reduces how much I am punished for still not working out how to use darcs.)<span><font color="#888888"><br>
