Signed repo for testing (x86_64 only)
by Magnus Therning 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi all, I've finally gotten around to looking at signing repos and have put a signed copy of [haskell-core] on kiwilight. I'd appreciate someone else testing it before I take the step to sign [haskell-core] itself. Here's the config I use at the moment: [haskell-test] SigLevel = Required TrustedOnly Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/test Oh, and this is x86_64 only at the moment! This is the key I've used for signing: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) mQMuBFDbKz8RCACkf/BFm1KCsQQ3+5IvzKMSuQ4MMmhQc83hhxdG/Xo+GJdsgQoE 7IuRgPhKN3I+4FYaZY+WXImpDIbggWx/29cu6jeMs6zOcE3Oyz70ycJY3Rd639Ua RriGGYLEgiZ4vSgzj6TbONcH1PURonddjquvupNOTlqWrnfRgM3b/yxyVFi4wGtH w22E1feDvCYvERWER0KrKSGmUrp/NXwmNTPtNPIzLsgs8ivR7ThqrdwcygKLKk6j QeZbe6MI7mG+gEMhfipK+71Q3nJK1hl8lAW2Ai296nDjoxw55OqdgTOtv0RbMg70 R5EkQgqtTv6R6D31eQmZ41Rsb1eosXS+LmYHAQDZ0A6iE/jsr4ncMvrCIKaL2sb4 LMt9Ri+i5/SkSBL7cwf+J4w9dHK5eGhMPntypbyhnzV6cSgDtT7UwjzzJzIkExoO fF6ovOq45m5/tYQW4EbqrHyb2VP91j1AOh4EYIlnoW3FylH951OOfG4kXYdTZjVB bQ6z1Ck7/AcLCv7TosdqJ5bABTPSJyXKaDJlXnrZAdXyvNFZpCxlr6DIDUr9dpYU U1/h6x2Do4S8EV5dpWJO2NIkNpT60FOz8w+5Ce9GankhKschH5yzA0jwIgM9g6Sm WpjDpK3tZ7TpLFwuMld2GDchCfgKv9Fsj+VNxU11R17H1taOlyKdYH6GJW3AR0CF ask4jWZC9oONwi6mDaSRcpPQtCodnikLKTefXm3g9wf/Q+lj1gdrHpg0MbjO+V3V e6DJXjypdCZtNRG7c49bc1mmA78JBrProDKI+Una/dFDd97zkwMbi12m8Eg+i4EL B7qQnTLtHXTM/GtpDe0Q6Gvf2/l6s5Oh4WuIzqsf2dHpQM2u2YlXKBk97ffDM4eY gR1rinXmgx7I82GuBImFEuXatMs/0y3D/vwGdFfGs27PMRMVnqGowpOK7e0dUAVn xul8FCEuq6Jch7SXtvVVMUScVRDS0RbIQVuw57om1uefETPNvh19RCJKL2sWNJcX LRbWLGQgHoH8vtmmapUlvQCdVHPCnE31k+4gkBL/CmjS4kztXxJEX4LwWVieMdGM n7QzQXJjaEhhc2tlbGwgKE1hZ251cyBUaGVybmluZykgPG1hZ251c0B0aGVybmlu Zy5vcmc+iHoEExEIACIFAlDbKz8CGwMGCwkIBwMCBhUIAgkKCwQWAgMBAh4BAheA AAoJEDKwtFNCCRcLfgwBAMXxHO5UtX/ubTJPwpMAzFZw7T4R0FyfRHDriOFbYdz1 APsHAC4M7LdyA+RgbUKjpLKVTXvx3LvFOOkXx4KFWfYzYbkDLgRQ2zBgEQgAxnCJ j6q/59KDQ/jvFD9h7TmzXw8qRfu0J+xq1CIotMld+HPI7vehLqA1Dd4JC3AMxxfH safF/aOJ8OaYWDLnsDFG09aOhj8nEC4mcNZv63atn3/HMjl89Q8N4H5x+SdZLlBG 1BmAh3WcOvAkgBn2vmT9aY+lYuMwFGliqq8GS+NYaHWJ9GXuLvByQSfxOIxMXYGv NB36o1LE7+Z7l3JJVu/3Vy4PG/jWgrRgUpFFYXimA9RI66c66S7+3MywctIhzIAS yC2HQ5Ljm6rfhZk7zWXuHXNO3vKODF0aWGsxCf/h8lpQxT9BoM373ksUp10OAFLv CtQOVqzkZkt3vLStkwEA44v9427wGSCEdb8IA2BDFnVio1mcRJgYb+Tp1+cKjvMH /jf4haJXGD8g8YDMW293CasBNluKRBFpsyV7Hkfw9XBaE900bcjettdZtIsOcgMH nTx/o9rYZGCPRJuISivs691x28hF31UIjtl5b25KOsQmnaRYeGaoooQUPKvm7yrR MXlwdej7v6fd2z1F71WpNGStAvJDf/fX8CWpHjHgvHtoPAwibE6CvC8b0vyb4Xex 5b8NrCC3Ma9LwEuiS3bcDU4VsHLPMa9qstBV6JiWhAhq6+yW1SZflmYhJb7zpOQC 4YPz1xKnmwi3ShSzWpBzebOjM6VsqYFZ3PGM0ovo002ZBqeX7zDxiOKnb8Fic/AP SjPQDaU5CUlNG40zXMdURO0IAIBO1XA4caZwjqMI/2j3S6tTB/kAsX5rR6VDwfKk vGYoekBRWZ+S0hpKwcI6k4c5JW/QGMYj6y/t9WVGvkAZ5+ks6fLXRcFHtzcyb1Kd rUBGBsWJu6h5i8/+bk2SepvBlQO+68GRbkdqqfcnkkBxAH/OT7VTLFTuJq2Bsn/5 oH/WOeNorR3JkdQnEnk3IZNjyk99ZKuusYoKQ8UjUQCNFzfL2ColnmKW/ikUr4HQ OBY/JUh9Ofn/y87TsoJ67rr2k/GAj5dmRqMfPiho/DAdoxUfuJj+43N6m2QrNvZC QjHXV0ZLZCPvDF9scHGqw0Xs3nnSbvLIGytQptB3Wj6zSmqIwQQYEQgACQUCUNsw YAIbAgBqCRAysLRTQgkXC18gBBkRCAAGBQJQ2zBgAAoJEJBRN1CkGMD+oiQA/0S2 McU6xwAsAqhftC5MZEvW57pXxPF+6CdgeptbbUTYAQCvWM1raAAxC+k+gg5UO1eS It9KScuDVbGnc/SyWmkXNz+eAP48RLu9FPD9FAhXLi4kTNzPMS4cJ/CnDkytxEJW vTpqvQD/YG+dOcF8SCkOHCzrEsrISLr//K55pkDbg4bGlYirHVk= =DzpX -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

No commit messages to Twitter at the moment
by Magnus Therning 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

I've just noticed the commit messages no longer make it to the ArchHaskell Twitter account. The last one was posted on 16 Dec, and I can't seem to make it work again :( Is anyone missing them? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

keeping in sync
by Ramana Kumar 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

[haskell] and [haskell-web] are out of sync at the moment. Do we have a mechanism in place whereby we only push changes publicly if they are all compatible with each other? I suppose the right way to do this would be to only offer one endpoint repo, which combines the results of all the small repos people are maintaining. What do you think of that idea? Can we rename [haskell] (to haskell-base or something) and use the existing haskell repo's location for this merged repo?

[haskell-old] is no more
by Magnus Therning 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

I've just removed [haskell-old], anyone still using it should move on to [haskell] ASAP. Please report any problems to the mailing list. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Testing repo with GHC 7.6
by Magnus Therning 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Hi all, There's now a testing repo built with GHC 7.6: [haskell-testing] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/testing/$arch The following packages are missing compared to [haskell]: GLUT anansi buildwrapper bytestring-show cblrepo ghc-mod glib gtk haddock pandoc pango parallel-io persistent-template scion-browser temporary wai warp Please have a play with it. My plan is to move it into [haskell] towards the end of the coming week. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay

Does that mean we are trying to build a chain of repos that build on each other in sequence? Or some other kind of dependency graph? I was originally imagining everything just depending on haskell-base, but on reflection that is probably not good enough, unless we keep moving things into -base. > This imply some modification to `cbladmin`, but I > still haven't found the time to do it. Anyway, `cbladmin` is on github > with an Apache license, so contribution is wellcome! > I might look into this when I find some time; of course others on list can do too. By the way, do you imagine cbladmin and cblrepo will eventually be merged into one tool, or are they tools for complementary but distinct purposes? > > Fabio >

Stable, Vetted Hackage
by Ramana Kumar 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Dear Michael, Arch Haskell, I saw this in the Haskell Weekly News recently: http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2012/11/stable-vetted-hackage I would like to propose that Arch Linux and the Hackage-packaging community project therein also be involved :) Some information about the Arch Haskell project is here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines I believe yesod and its dependencies, for example, are available in our [haskell-web] repository, and we (mainly Fabian and Magnus) are doing a great job of keeping it all working and up-to-date. How might this interface with stackage? Do you (on either side) see potential for collaboration? Cheers, Ramana

haskell-dyre advice?
by Ethan Schoonover 12 Dec '12

Trying to get taffybar running here and thus installing haskell-dyre from [haskell-extra] chokes on a too low ghc requirement. Any pointers here? Thanks -es

haskell-safe in [haskell-extra] relies on ghc-7.4.2.1 ?
by Pierre Radermecker 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hi, [haskell] seems to work fine with ghc 7.6.1 (the current ghc version in Arch repos) but my first try with [haskell-extra] has choked: sudo pacman -S haskell-safe resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "ghc=7.4.2-1", a dependency of "haskell-safe" Actually my sole need is to install hoogle and I am trying to achieve this by using the provided repos. As I quickly realize that manual cabal installs are not a good option, I try to minimize them. Here I am just a bit surprised that the first package I try from [haskell-extra] fails because it expects another version of ghc ... Am I missing something or is it "haskell-safe" that should be fixed or removed from the repository ? Thanks for your help - PierreR

Package INSTALL scriptlets do not generate a working haddock index (gen_contents_index broken)
by Matthew Cox 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

The /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/gen_contents_index script is broken and causes haddock to emit broken links in the resulting documentation index for the local ghc pkg tree. Here's the fix: - NAME_VERSION=`echo "$HADDOCK_FILE" | sed 's#/.*##'` - HADDOCK_ARG="--read-interface=${NAME_VERSION},$HADDOCK_FILE" + HADDOCK_ARG="--read-interface=$(dirname $HADDOCK_FILE),$HADDOCK_FILE" The eager match on sed causes it to strip all but the first component of the package documentation path. Presumably this is broken upstream and needs to be fixed by them, but I'd like to confirm it's not caused by us before I pester the ghc-dev list. Matt
