No apparent opposition, just not sufficient interest or need (at least |
| 14 |
since 2015, when the bug was filed) from those with the necessary coding |
| 15 |
skills to push it up in priority enough to get a patch for repoman. |
| 16 |
There has simply always been something else with a higher priority. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Apparently haskell is most affected, but presumably nobody with the |
| 19 |
haskell team has either the repoman familiarity or the time to get it, |
| 20 |
prioritized high enough based on the severity of the problem to actually |
| 21 |
do something about it. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So the problem remains... |
