Tips for re-compiling system
by Magnus Therning 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

By building haskell packages as I need them I've now managed to get into a sitution where I need to do some re-compilation in order for my system to make sense again. Are there any handy scripts, or tips for how to do a recompilation of Arch packages from AUR for solving this? It is my desire to install haskell-haxr that forces me to do this: Configuring haxr-3000.2.1... Warning: This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure. package HTTP-4000.0.6 requires network-2.2.1 package haxr-3000.2.1 requires network-2.2.1.1 Surely I can't be the first person to run into this, right? (I have been in the same situation after the upgrade of GHC to 6.3 too, but then I didn't have as many packages installed. :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Wanted: script for doing chroot clean room package building
by Don Stewart 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hey guys, So I'm trying to maintain quality in the AUR packages. I need nightly builds of packages to spot changes in deps (e.g. when GHC's core set changes, or when C libs change). To do this, I need a way to instantiate a clean Arch system, install GHC and the other pacman Haskell tools. Anyone got an example of how to do this? -- Don

Does anyone have a policy document they can point to for the following: "No package should ever be listed in both depends and makedepends."
