We are about to lose hledger on armel, armhf, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, and s390x.

If this affects you, we need working Template Haskell and GHCi support on your architecture.

Someone should package Beets.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Debian Haskell Group, Yesod has been updated to version 0.9.2.2 in unstable.

Yesod is a Haskell web framework for productive development of type-safe, RESTful, high performance web applications. It is the foundation for hledger-web.

It is an alternative to Happstack, the framework used by gitit.

Fashion is definitely one of those things at which it is far, far worse to try and fail than to not try at all.

As of deets 0.1, you can now also populate Cosmo template variables through Lua code. For example:

/tmp/silly.lua:

require("utils-grep")

local intel = grep_program_output("VGA.*Intel","lspci")

file.file({"/tmp/garbage"}, {
    ensure = "present",
    owner = "root",
    group = "root",
    mode = "755",
    source = file.cosmotemplate("/tmp/silly.cosmo", intel)
})

/tmp/silly.cosmo:

# On $systeminfo|hostname, we might have used the following information
# to populate this config file.
#
# We did not.

$map{$v|1}[[# $it]]

Then run sudo luau --rectify /tmp/silly.lua and your /tmp/garbage should be equally useless whether or not you have an Intel video card.
