New [haskell-happstack] repository

Hi, For those of you interested in Haskell for the web, I created using cblrepo a new repository containing all the latest happstack, clckwrks and gitit packages. If you want to use it, add this to your pacman.conf [haskell-happstack] SigLevel = Never Server = ftp://noaxiom.org/$repo/$arch I believe that some of the dependencies now in haskell-happstack should rather go in haskell-core. Here is a minimal list: base16-bytestring haskell-src-meta syb-with-class time-compat Thanks, Nicola Squartini

Update of haskell-syb ?
by Pierre Radermecker 21 Aug '13

Hello, The update of haskell-core/haskell-syb to 0.4.1-1 [installed: 0.4.0-2] seems to break a lot's of package that still require a version = to 0.4.0-2: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: haskell-aeson: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-buildwrapper: requires haskell-cpphs=1.16-3 :: haskell-buildwrapper: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-citeproc-hs: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-derive: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-ghc-mod: requires haskell-hlint=1.8.49-2 :: haskell-ghc-mod: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-ghc-syb-utils: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-haskell-src: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-haskell-src-exts: requires haskell-cpphs=1.16-3 :: haskell-hs-bibutils: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-json: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-pandoc: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-pandoc-types: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-texmath: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 :: haskell-uniplate: requires haskell-syb=0.4.0-2 Is this a temp sync problem ? Cheers, - Pierre

New version of cblrepo with new DB format
by Magnus Therning 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I've just pushed a new version of *cblrepo*, it's now at 0.9.0. There are two major changes: - Use of *aeson* for the database, which means the database format has changed quite a bit. Use `cblrepo convertdb` to convert from the old format. - The library *optparse-applicative* has replaced *cmdargs* for command line parsing. I believe there aren't any major changes to the command line options, but there are 2 minor things: 1. *cmdargs* allows writing partial sub-command names and accepts them as long as the portion written is unambiguous, *optparse-applicative* is more strict and requires the full names to be used. 2. The help format has changed slightly. I don't think either change is very likely to cause issues for users. The HABS database has already been updated to the new format. /M -- 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

This seems to be the best image manipulation library around. Would love if it could get added! :) http://hackage.haskell.org/package/JuicyPixels-3.1 Thanks, Stephen

cblrepo 0.8.0 released
by Magnus Therning 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

I've just pushed out version 0.8.0 of cblrepo. It uses a slightly different database layout so if you maintain packages using cblrepo you need to convert the database using the `convertdb` command. The HABS database has already been converted and pushed to github. Please report any issues at https://github.com/magthe/cblrepo /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
