And see /use/share/pacman/ChangeLog.proto for an example of the layout. The variable was a feature added with pacman 3.4.0 and the wiki does not appear to have been updated yet. -- David Campbell

I didn't know about this either. More info please! The variable was a feature added with pacman version 3.4.0. It appears the wiki still needs to be updated to mention this; however, "man pkgbuild" mentions it, and there is a prototype that comes with pacman, "/usr/share/pacman/ChangeLog.proto". -- David Campbell ----- End forwarded message -----

I just found out about the changelog= directive for PKGBUILDs. However I can't really find more detailed information about it, e.g. is there a specific format that I have to follow? Where can I find more info? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

HP 2010.2.0.0 status update
by Don Stewart 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

The big upgrade is almost complete. GHC 6.12.3 is in extra, and the majority of binary packages have been rebuilt. AUR is up to date. The last steps are: * haskell-parallel package rebuilt against 6.12.3 [vegai] * haskell-quickcheck package rebuilt against 6.12.3 [vegai] * bump haskell-cgi to HP version (3001.1.7.3) * bump happy (1.18.5) I've rolled an AUR meta-package "haskell-platform" but it awaits these versions to be built prior to uploading. At which point, we'll be complete.

ETA for HP 2010.2 update?
by Don Stewart 20 Aug '10

Hey, Anyone got an ETA for when GHC 6.12.3 will be in Arch? It's holding up my updating of the AUR packages. -- Don

haskell-gtk, gtk2hs-gtk, and related packages in Arch Haskell
by gdweber＠iue.edu 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

I notice that in AUR we have haskell-gtk 0.11.2-1 haskell-cairo 0.11.1-1 haskell-gio 0.11.1-1 haskell-glade 0.11.1-1 haskell-glib 0.11.1-1 haskell-pango 0.11.2-1 gtk2hs-buildtools 0.11.1-1 (which is also in AUR, even though its prefix is like the community packages ...) while in Community we also have gtk2hs-gtk 0.11.0-2 gtk2hs-cairo 0.11.0-2 gtk2hs-glade 0.11.0-1 gtk2hs-glib 0.11.0-1 gtk2hs-pango 0.11.0-2 gtk2hs-buildtools 0.9-1 i686 Community gtk2hs-pango 0.11.0-2 i686 Community gtk2hs-cairo 0.11.0-2 i686 Community gtk2hs-gtk 0.11.0-2 i686 Community gtk2hs-glib 0.11.0-1 i686 Community gtk2hs-buildtools 0.9-1 but these do not seem to depend on a gtk2hs-gio; indeed, there is no such package. Are the haskell- packages better, as their version numbers suggest, or are there good reasons for sticking with the gtk2hs- packages? The haskell- packages are maintained by the "arch-haskell" (Arch Haskell Team); the gtk2hs packages are maintained by Sergej Pupykin. Is he part of the Arch Haskell Team. If so, why do we have both groups of packages? If not, should he be persuaded to let the haskell- packages replace the gtk2hs- packages? Also, why does haskell- packages each list as dependencies gtk2hs-buildtools *3 times*? Greg -- ___ ___ __ _ / _ \ / _ \| | | | Gregory D.

New version of haskell-archlinux package, with maintainer scripts
by Don Stewart 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hey guys, The first cut at public scripts for group maintainership of packages in in the arch-haskell package in AUR. This is very much an experimental release. If you play with these scripts, I'd love some feedback and patches. These are most of the tools I use to manage the AUR / Hackage project, including: * Get a list of all packages maintained by arch-haskell $ mypackages | sort > arch-haskell-packages.txt $ wc -l arch-haskell-packages.txt 1873 arch-haskell-packages.txt * Generate the Hackage <-> AUR mapping file for Hackage. $ distro-map --> creates http://www.galois.com/~dons/cabalArchMap.txt used by Hackage. TODO: host this in the code.haskell.org/arch repo, for group maintainership, update Hackage to look here. * Generate the QA report of versions, build success etc. + Assumes you have the arch-haskell-packages.txt file (generated above), + and a ~/.build-all.log with format "haskell-parameterized-data True" indicating build status + uses the download stats for Hackage: http://www.galois.com/~dons/hackage/hackage-downloads.csv $ arch-report --> creates http://code.haskell.org/arch/arch-haskell-status.html * find the AUR url for a package: $ get-arch-url haskell-json http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17480 Some of these tools are hacked enough that they assume the user has files that you might not have access to, however, they should give you an idea of some of the tasks that can be automated. Not included are the shell scripts for updating the RSS feed (yet). My plan is to continue to: * keep documenting the group maintainer process, http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Arch_Linux/Arch_Haskell_Group_Maintainership * improve and simplify the scripts so they can be easily installed by any future arch-haskell group maintainers * once the arch-haskell package process is all sorted and repeatable, do some training with gour et al to begin group maintainership. -- Don

Haskell packages for arch-haskell group
by Don Stewart 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Currently: raincat, trontonic http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33509 yesod, gour http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35370 are maintained by others. Can we get them orphaned so arch-haskell can take over? They're both out of date, and straight-forwardly updatable by cabal2arch. annoyingly, they're both relatively high-profile (i would have written up their packaging). -- Don

AUR up to date
by Don Stewart 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

AUR is now up to date. About 1800 package updates occured. The distro links on Hackage, and QA page will update soon. -- Don P.S. The next step of my plan is to get a few more people doing "arch-haskell" updates, and to start, I've started documenting the process: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Arch_Linux/Arch_Haskell_Group_Maintainership The bits that aren't solved, as I've mentioned before are: * build status reports * the Hackage url table * the RSS feed of new packages If we can work out a good way for that meta-data to be updated by multiple, distributed users, we'll be in good shape.
