Many packages are not yet upgradable
by gdweber＠iue.edu 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Before bringing up bad news, I'd like to express again my pleasure that the Haskell Platform installs after upgrading to GHC 7. Three cheers for the [haskell] repo maintainers! Everything else that I've tried to upgrade fails: haskell-csv ----------- warning: cannot resolve "haskell-filepath=1.1.0.4", a dependency of "haskell-cs\ v" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-csv But on hackage, csv 0.1.2's package description does not require a specific version of filepath. I suppose that something in the package building process ties this to the version of haskell-filepath for a particular version of GHC, and that similar remarks apply to the other packages below, and a lot of others. haskell-pandoc -------------- warning: cannot resolve "haskell-http=4000.0.9", a dependency of "haskell-pando\ c" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-pandoc But the package description for pandoc 1.8.1.1 says HTTP (≥4000.0.5 & <4000.2), haskell-gtk ----------- -bash-4.2# pacman -Ss haskell-gtk -bash-4.2# pacman -Ss haskell-gtk haskell/haskell-gtk 0.12.0-3 Binding to the Gtk+ graphical user interface library. -bash-4.2# pacman -S haskell-gtk resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "haskell-array=0.3.0.1", a dependency of "haskell-gtk" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-gtk haskell-hxt ----------- # pacman -S haskell-hxt resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "haskell-hunit=1.2.2.1", a dependency of "haskell-hxt" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-hxt Concluding request ------------------ I think our [haskell] repo maintainers are probably aware of the problems, but since I've not heard any news from them about this since GHC 7 went into extra, I just wanted to make sure. I believe there are 199 packages on the repo, so this is a lot of work and I'm prepared to be patient. It would just be nice to hear a little from the repo maintainers about their progress and/or plans -- for example, announcements about individual packages being made ready. Thanks again for all of your valuable work. Greg -- ___ ___ __ _ / _ \ / _ \| | | | Gregory D.

Haddock fails on parsing Hamlet
by Mathew de Detrich 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Since the site for signing up to haddock mailing list seems to be down ( http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haddock) I thought I would post this here Haddock fails to parse (and therefore closes prematurely) when generating documentation for the Hamlet package found here ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hamlet) This furthermore prevents the hamlet from being built on archlinux using cabal2arch/AUR/bauerbill The error when creating the documentation is Warning: Text.Hamlet.Quasi: We do not support associated types in instances yet. These instances are affected: Text.Hamlet.Quasi.HamletValue (Text.Hamlet.Quasi.Hamlet url), Text.Hamlet.Quasi.HamletValue Text.Blaze.Internal.Html haddock coverage for dist/build/tmp17309/Text/Hamlet/Quasi.hs: 9/14 64% dist/build/tmp17309/Text/Cassius.hs:340:23: parse error on input `AbsoluteUnit' Aborting... On the previous haskell-platform this did not happen Thanks

Upgrading to GHC 7
by gdweber＠iue.edu 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

This is a reminder to those who are flummoxed by all of those messages when you do 'pacman -Syu': error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: haskell-cairo: requires haskell-array=0.3.0.1 :: haskell-cairo: requires haskell-bytestring=0.9.1.7 :: haskell-cairo: requires haskell-haskell98=1.0.1.1 :: haskell-citeproc-hs: requires haskell-http=4000.0.9 :: haskell-citeproc-hs: requires haskell-bytestring=0.9.1.7 :: haskell-citeproc-hs: requires haskell-containers=0.3.0.0 -- and many more of a similar nature. Now that GHC 7 has moved from [staging] to [extra], we need to remove and re-install everything haskellish, and this is the procedure (taken from peti's comment on the AUR haskell-pong package, posted to the arch-haskell list on 2011 Jan 16): 1. Remove ghc and everything that depends on it: pacman -R --cascade ghc rm -rf /usr/lib/ghc-* (Wow, it's been a while since I've done that 'rm' bit -- this time it's cleaning out directories from as far back as ghc 6.10.3!) 2. Re-install ghc and everything else you need from scratch At the moment, re-installing _everything_ will _not_ work (more about that in another message), but installing Haskell Platform -- pacman -S haskell-platform does work, with no problem at all. And since I had never actually installed the Haskell Platform before, per se, it was a pleasure to see it working! -- ___ ___ __ _ / _ \ / _ \| | | | Gregory D.
