@kolmodin Obviously, there's not been any activity here for many years. This library doesn't build with GHC > 8.6 (#14). Is there any chance that the fork could be merged?

The last resort would be for me to open PRs for all reverse dependencies (notably codec, which is transitively blocking the likes of Euterpea), pointing them to use the fork instead. @tfausak Would you be comfortable with that?

[tfausak]

Sure, I'd be comfortable with that. I don't plan on doing any feature development with Caerbannog, but I can keep it up to date with GHC.

For what it's worth, I stopped using both binary-bits and caerbannog entirely: tfausak/rattletrap#227

On the other hand, given how long it's been without activity here, perhaps this is approaching a Hackage admin issue? https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package

But I'll give @kolmodin plenty of time to respond before considering that route.

AFAICT, that's because in your use case you got better performance by hand-rolling something? Rather than any fundamental issue with binary-bits?

[tfausak]

Primarily I was trying to avoid lazy byte strings, which had bad performance for my use case.
