Support GHC 8 #5
Description
Activity
Hello, currently this package in not actively maintained by it's primary maintainer. I'll try to take a look into this issue but I can't guarantee that I'll do that promptly.
Major bugs will be fixed but may be not very promptly. All PRs will be reviewed and merged possibly with delays. Versions bounds will be updated upon a notice. Unless somebody will volunteer to drive this package forward you should not expect much improvements. I'm not sure that I can say that I totally trust codebase so possibly there is a room for improvement , but as far as I know there are some users of this package and it works for them.
I think such situation will stay at least in the middle term.What I've written is only about distributed process platform packages like extras, client-sever. Network transport family, distributed-process itself and d-p-asynx are properly maintained.
Ok thanks so much for this detail. I'm very, very new to the cloud haskell world. How critical is this package to the cloud haskell effort?
Perhaps this is all documented somewhere so forgive me if I'm asking for info that is readily available.
In our practice we primarily use distributed-process, network-transport-tcp, network-transport-inmemory, distributed-process-async, and build our primitives on top. There are also distributed-process-platform with a number of packages inside that try to mimic Erlang's OTR, they are not critical for writing code.
Thanks very much. I'll close this issue since GHC 8 support is already working.
Sorry, I'm trying to get back to maintaining these packages but have not had access to a working environment for quite some time now. Hopefully will be back on board soon but efforts to get back to the project stalled last year.

I may be doing something wrong, but I'm having trouble getting this to build with GHC 8.
