• dchest 11y ago
  Someone posted before it was released here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9342769 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9342769 Now that it's released, I thought I'd post it as "Show HN" with a link to blog post. Happy to answer your questions!

    I'm unclear on the origin of these packages: are they all original works, or a vetting and repackaging of other packages? If the later, how are improvements being sent up stream?
    • dchest 11y ago
      The latter (although some are original works); if you browse https://stablelib.com/v1/ https://stablelib.com/v1/, you can see links to upstreams for each package in "Information" section. Improvements are sent via whatever method the original accepts, mostly GitHub pull requests.

  I'm not big on it being a paid project. https://www.stackage.org/ https://www.stackage.org/ does the same thing for haskell for free.

  Awesome! Is there a way of proposing packages? I for one would love to see the following be included: - github.com/hashicorp/errwrap - github.com/mattn/go-issatty - a file system notification lib (fsnotify, timeglass/snow etc)

    Thanks! I'll make a website page for package proposals, meanwhile a simple email to info@stablelib.com (or a comment here) will do :)
