What does "failed to finalize package" mean?
by Richard Wallace 02 May '14

02 May '14

I'm trying to add gtk2hs-buildtools and am getting that error $ cblrepo add gtk2hs-buildtools,0.12.5.2 $ cblrepo pkgbuild --ghc-version 7.8.2-1 Failed to finalize package: gtk2hs-buildtools In digging into the source, it looks like this means a dependency was not able to be found. But all the things that gtk2hs-buildtools depends on are provided by ghc, so I'm a bit at a loss. Any idea what is going on? Thanks, Rich

Checksum failures when building all packages
by Richard Wallace 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

I've checked out habs and am trying to build all the packages as described in the readme. Every once in a while the build will fail with a checksum error while installing dependencies ==> Installing missing dependencies... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

If I just restart the build, it appears to download the problem dependency instead of using the locally built package. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Rich

I suppose that might be the case. It is possible to pass options to specific parts of the compilation process, but I have never looked at any of this before so help would be very appreciated. /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

haskell-src-exts: Illegal instruction (core dumped)
by Nicola Squartini 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hi, I already mentioned this problem earlier on this mailing list, but now I have some extra information. It's the following (on GHCi): Prelude> :m Language.Haskell.Exts Prelude Language.Haskell.Exts> parseFileContents "main = putStrLn \"Hello World\"" Loading package array-0.5.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package filepath-1.3.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package deepseq-1.3.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package old-locale-1.0.0.6 ... linking ... done. Loading package time-1.4.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package bytestring-0.10.4.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package unix-2.7.0.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package directory-1.2.1.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package old-time-1.1.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package text-1.1.0.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package polyparse-1.9 ... linking ... done. Loading package cpphs-1.18.4 ... linking ... done. Loading package pretty-1.1.1.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package haskell-src-exts-1.15.0.1 ... linking ... done. Illegal instruction (core dumped) This affects everything that depends on haskell-src-exts, like hlint and stylish-haskell. The bug shows up only on my two AMD Athlon II X2 computers, but not on my other Intel Sandybridge. I think it is related to -fllvm flag because I didn't have this bug with the 1.15.0 version, which didn't have the flag. Can someone with similar AMD architecture try to replicate it, please? Thanks Nicola

Yesod Persistent packages
by Xyne 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hi, Have the Yesod Persistent packages been dropped from the repo permanently or only temporarily? If there was an announcement then I missed it. If this was unintentional, I would like to request that they be re-added. Thanks. Regards, Xyne

ghc 7.8.1 has hit [haskell-core]
by Magnus Therning 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

This morning I pushed out ghc 7.8.1 to [haskell-core]. This means that [haskell-testing] will be retired in a few days so please point pacman back to the core repo again. When I first created the branch for ghc 7.8 there were a number of packages that weren't buildable, and hence they were removed. I've since re-added a few of them, but not all. Not yet. If you find something crucial to be missing, please let me know so I can fix it post-haste. /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

Builds failing in habs chroot
by Richard Wallace 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I'd like to try and get taffybar added to habs so I'm trying to learn how to build packages and all that. The first one I'm trying it HStringTemplate, which should be simple as all dependencies are available. But for some reason, it fails to build. *** Building in /home/rwallace/Development/habs/haskell-hstringtemplate :: Synchronizing package databases... haskell-core is up to date core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do ==> Making package: haskell-hstringtemplate 0.7.3-1 (Mon Apr 21 11:18:03 MST 2014) ==> Retrieving sources... -> Downloading HStringTemplate-0.7.3.tar.gz... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 0 0 0 15961 0 0 17499 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 17499 ==> Validating source files with sha256sums...

What's going on? What am I missing? Thanks, Rich

haskell-haddock for GHC 7.8.2-1
by Brayden Banks 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I think there used to be a haskell-haddock package in the ArchHaskell repos, but there isn't one now and the haddock from [community] is for 7.6.3-1. Stuff still builds, but it complains about haddock being out of date. Are there plans to put it back?

Can't install cabal-install

xsounds server down
by Magnus Therning 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

I really ought to learn to not ask for stuff ;) Due to a strange behaviour with xsounds when downloading files I asked for help from Bernardo, who runs the server and graciously lets us use it for free. Bernardo attempted an upgrade of Apache, but unfortunately it didn't come back up after that. At the moment he doesn't have time to dig in and fix the configuration. This, coupled with the fact that the kiwilight server also doesn't have a web server running just yet, means that we are without means to get to the repos at the moment :( Just please be patient, I'm sure the repos will be back soon. I'll let you know as soon as I find out more. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. -- The Peter Principle
