Hey all, Looks like we're almost set for Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 Need to check things like network though, against what is shipped with GHC 6.10.4 Here's a PKGBUILD, # Contributor: Arch Haskell Team <arch-haskell(a)haskell.org> # Package generated by cabal2arch 0.5.3 pkgname=haskell-platform pkgrel=1 pkgver=2009.2.0.2 pkgdesc="The Haskell Platform" url="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/" license=('custom:BSD3') arch=('i686' 'x86_64') makedepends=() depends=('gmp' 'ghc' 'haskell-cabal' 'haskell-glut=2.1.1.2' 'haskell-http=4000.0.6' 'haskell-opengl=2.2.1.1' 'haskell-cgi=3001.1.7.1' 'haskell-editline=0.2.1.0' 'haskell-fgl=5.4.2.2' 'haskell-network=2.2.1.4' 'haskell-time=1.1.2.4' 'haskell-zlib=0.5.0.0' 'cabal-install' 'alex' 'happy' 'haddock') options=('strip') source=(http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2009.2.0.2/cabal/haskell-platfo… install=haskell-platform.install md5sums=() build() { cd $startdir/src/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=/usr || return 1 runhaskell Setup build || return 1 runhaskell Setup register --gen-script || return 1 runhaskell Setup unregister --gen-script || return 1 install -D -m744 register.sh $startdir/pkg/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/register.sh install -m744 unregister.sh $startdir/pkg/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/unregister.sh runhaskell Setup copy --destdir=$startdir/pkg || return 1 install -D -m644 LICENSE $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE || return 1 }

haskell-utf8-string requires recompilation ?
by Piyush P Kurur 27 Jul '09

Hi, I think the haskell-utf8-string package needs recompilation. I noticed it while trying to compile the lhs2tex program. Here is the message that I get when trying to load the module System.IO.UTF8 in ghci ------ Begin message ------------------------ Bad interface file: /usr/lib/utf8-string-0.3.5/ghc-6.10.3/System/IO/UTF8.hi mismatched interface file versions (wanted "6104", got "6103") ------ End message --------------------------------------- Regards ppk

----- Forwarded message from Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> ----- Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:42:10 +0100 From: Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> To: glasgow-haskell-users(a)haskell.org, haskell(a)haskell.org Cc: Subject: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.10.4 ============================================================== The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.10.4 ============================================================== The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC. This release contains a number of bugfixes relative to 6.10.3, so we recommend upgrading. Release notes are here: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.4/html/users_guide/release-6-10-4.html How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place. Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~~~~~~~~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998 and revised December 2002. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below). On-line GHC-related resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web: GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC developers' home page http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/ Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Contributors Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty. The Building Guide describes how to go about porting to a new platform: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building Developers ~~~~~~~~~~ We welcome new contributors. Instructions on accessing our source code repository, and getting started with hacking on GHC, are available from the GHC's developer's site run by Trac: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Mailing lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We run mailing lists for GHC users and bug reports; to subscribe, use the web interfaces at http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs There are several other haskell and ghc-related mailing lists on www.haskell.org; for the full list, see http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ Some GHC developers hang out on #haskell on IRC, too: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IRC_channel Please report bugs using our bug tracking system. Instructions on reporting bugs can be found here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users(a)haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users ----- End forwarded message -----

darcs patch: Remove trailing whitespace (and 2 more)
by Adam Vogt 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Tue Jul 14 20:00:40 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Remove trailing whitespace Tue Jul 14 20:00:58 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Bump ghc version (probably harmless) Tue Jul 14 20:01:31 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Makedepends should not duplicate depends array in PKGBUILD This stops yaourt from trying to build dependencies twice when building from AUR.
