I never really finished at the the time, so I let it ly around on a repo of mine. Yesterday I updated it and realized you're moving haskell stuff out of the ports tree. Do you have any pointers to how to relate to this work, and what I can do to get pgbackrest into the ports tree? I remember there where more than 20 new haskell ports I had to add to get it working.

Haha, sorry, I was confused. postgrest [https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest>] is the name of the project. :-)

So I port it sort of like a go application, by referencing all the libraries in the application port? Where will the libs go? Any tips of application ports using haskell that I can use as reference?
