[haskell-web] Git-Annex Log file ?
by Pierre Radermecker 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hello, I am having weird behavior with git-annex going from the AUR version to the haskell-web repo one (actually going from the 32 bits to the 64 bits one). It might be something that hasn't been cleaned up correctly. Anyway I don't seem to be able to find the log file ... Nothing on /var/log and journalctl doesn't seem to give much more information: @nvanillia ~ > journalctl /usr/bin/git-annex -- Logs begin at Sat 2013-02-02 15:25:22 CET, end at Sat 2013-04-13 21:50:47 CEST. -- Any idea ? Thanks - Pierre

I'm in the progress of re-building all of [haskell-core] with the latest release of ghc, 7.6.3, so please if you would refrain from making any changes to HABS until I've pushed that to github. Thanks. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[haskell-web] Update wiki for SigLevel
by Pierre Radermecker 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, If I am not mistaken, the wiki page guidelinehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_Package_Guidelines should mention that we need to add something like SigLevel = Optional for [Haskell-web] since the last pacman update (at least when using the new default pacman.config file). Cheers, - Pierre

Testpack considered for removal, users please speak up
by Magnus Therning 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Testpack[1] is being considered for removal. It's requiring more and more patching and the upstream author has not been responsive lately. There are no other packages depending on it so there is no impact on other packages in [haskell-core]. If anyone out there is depending on the package please speak up, so we can discuss what to do about it. I'll leave a week for users to speak up and start the discussion. If I've heard nothing as of 27 March I'll go ahead and remove the package. /M [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/testpack -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay

Switching from community+aur to haskell repo, missed something?
by Sean Escriva 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

I tried to make a clean switch by uninstalling all haskell pkgs+ghc, but I missed something so now I'm getting an odd error when I try to install xmonad or xmonad-contrib: soundwave ~ » sudo pacman -S xmonad resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: haskell-x11-xft: requires haskell-x11=1.6.1.1-3 :: haskell-x11-xft: requires haskell-utf8-string=0.3.7-26 More info on steps leading up to it: https://gist.github.com/webframp/bdfa579b5129ae5cd3ef I've tried removing every haskell-* package and ghc, and reinstalling, no difference. What am I missing? thanks -sean

Hello, just wanted to say that now git-annex is in the repo. As it was a very hard beast to compile, please help me check if anything is wrong. Bye Fabio
