Crypton is forked from cryptonite with the original authors permission
5 projects | /r/haskell | 5 Jun 2023

There was also the Haskell-crypto fork (https://github.com/haskell-crypto/cryptonite) which was done for similar reasons - will this fork include any of its changes? I can’t remember if much was actually done in that project, most of the work has been on the libsodium library. It would be good to have just one place for all of this, perhaps Kazu could consider moving crypton into that organisation and helping contribute.

GHC 9.2 support for cryptonite is added in this PR: https://github.com/haskell-crypto/cryptonite/pull/354 So that should be fixed soon i guess..

[Haskell-cafe] Future of package cryptonite

The main issue is actually inability to switch to newer GHC 9.0, which seems blocked by other packages

Is Down wrong or just weird?

I invite you to add these to https://github.com/NorfairKing/haskell-WAT or https://github.com/NorfairKing/haskell-dangerous-functions depending on the specific quirk.
