Stackage

Should we try to cooperate and get this up on Stackage? I'm using it, but adding yesod-text-markdown "on the side" leads to inconsistent dependencies. I'm in no rush, though, but it would be good, and also (at least for me), a good practical use-case to have to learn the Stackage process.

To be honest, I have a very bad idea what it means to "get this up on stackage". I've never used Stackage, so I'm not feeling confident uploading packages to it.

I'll look into it and see what I find. After the weekend.

I think you just send a PR to stackage that adds your email address and package name. yesod-text-markdown builds with the latest set of its dependencies so that part should be fine.

@MaxGabriel, do you know more about stackage? Is it sensible for this pacakge to be included there?

[MaxGabriel]

I don't have too much experience with it, but basically its a collection of packages that are known to build together. When a package (e.g. persistent) is updated, it checks that all the other packages work with that package, and if they don't the maintainers of the other packages are pinged on github/email to update their packages.

Seems sensible for this package to be on there because the dependencies of it, yesod and the markdown package, are also on there https://github.com/fpco/stackage/blob/master/Stackage/Config.hs#L248

Cool, I'll check this out later :)

Yay. Thanks for inspiring me to do this. :)

I'm planning to remove this package from stackage, as I'm not the right person to maintain this anymore. I reopen this issue and welcome anyone to take owner maintainer ship. But I suppose this package is out of date now and nobody cares about it anymore, which is fine. :)
