[Haskell-cafe] Intention to Take Over adblock2privoxy Hackage Package

[Steven Smith]

Dear Haskell Cafe,

I’m writing to publicly state my intention to take over the adblock2privoxy Hackage package:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/adblock2privoxy <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/adblock2privoxy>

using the forked github repo at:

https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy <https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy>

I have been unable to contact the package’s creator/maintainer at the email provided, and the original repo <https://projects.zubr.me/wiki/adblock2privoxy> has not been updated for several years.

I forked this project about a year and a half ago, and since then have addressed <https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/commits/master> many issues and incorporated feedback and fixed from the github community, including compilation with the most recent GHC compiler.

I am following up on a suggestion made here to publish the latest version in Hackage, following the procedure to take over a package:

https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/pull/29#issue-215776931 <https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/pull/29#issue-215776931>
https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package <https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package>

My Hackage username is essandess.

Sincerely,

Steve
