Please help me with these open source Haskell projects
May 4, 2017
Here are some pull requests and issues that have been awaiting my attention for months or years.
Sadly, I haven’t found and probably won’t find enough time for them. So I am asking you for help.
If you can work on and close at least one of the items below, that would be awesome.
Thanks to people who have helped so far:

Pull requests awaiting reviews
These are pull requests submitted to my projects. For each one, I describe what needs to be done.
ansi-terminal: add save, restore, report cursor
https://github.com/feuerbach/ansi-terminal/pull/18
Needs a review and testing on different platforms.
ansi-terminal: compatibility with Win32-2.5.0.0 and above
https://github.com/feuerbach/ansi-terminal/pull/21
Needs review and testing.
tasty: build with GHCJS
https://github.com/feuerbach/tasty/pull/150
This one actually has little to do with tasty or ghcjs; it only needs a PR for the clock package to fall back to time.
tasty: make --quickcheck-show-replay always show the seed (not just on failure)
https://github.com/feuerbach/tasty/pull/143
Need to figure out how to fix this without going back to random (see this comment).
temporary: canonicalized versions of withSystemTempDirectory and withTempDirectory
https://github.com/feuerbach/temporary/pull/2
Needs another pair of eyes — especially regarding the mysterious withCanonicalizedSystemTempDirectory.
tasty: add soft timeouts
https://github.com/feuerbach/tasty/pull/89
When a QuickCheck test runs into a timeout, Tasty does not report the input values generated by QuickCheck for the interrupted run.
This PR is probably affected by this change in exception handling — you’ll need to figure out how exactly and update the pull request appropriately.
immortal: add wait
Done on 2017-05-07 by Alexey Zabelin
https://github.com/feuerbach/immortal/pull/2
For graceful shutdown, I wait for threads to finish in my servers main loop. I would like to do the same with Immortal threads.
What needs to be done:
- Rebase
- Add a test
tasty-golden: add golden test for text files
https://github.com/feuerbach/tasty-golden/pull/15
I think the point of this PR is to add an internal diff implementation, but I am not sure.
If you understand and like the idea, please update the PR and make a new case for it; otherwise I’ll probably close it.
tasty: Silence a few GHC warnings
https://github.com/feuerbach/tasty/pull/122
Needs rebase and review.
Issues that need to be fixed
Here are a couple of issues that I care about and was going to fix myself, but can’t find the time.
stack: no package names in haddock index
