  Description     : Haskell virtual environment tool

hsenv is a tool (inspired by Python's virtualenv) to create isolated Haskell environments.

It creates a sandboxed environment in a .hsenv/ sub-directory
of your project, which, when activated, allows you to use regular Haskell tools
(ghc, ghci, ghc-pkg, cabal) to manage your Haskell code and environment.
It's possible to create an environment, that uses different GHC version
than your currently installed. Very simple emacs integration mode is included.

It is only tool of this kind (haskell virtualenv is deprecated and
recommends this one).  It allows me to safely install ghc-7.8 without
breaking system.  This tool allowed me to build `yi` text editor from
git and do not get mad. It gets ~1 release a year. I plan to handle
maintership of this package.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging hsenv. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of hsenv from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging hsenv, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 769000 ITP: hsenv -- Haskell virtual environment tool
 owner 769000 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <769000@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
