Haskell Platform: feedback sought
by Don Stewart 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hey guys, So there's been 3 releases of the Haskell Platform. What is the best approach for Arch to support this specification? Currently we have an AUR package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26279 Should we consider moving this spec into [community]? Should there be some other kind of meta package? -- Don

haskell-utf8-string requires recompilation ?
by Piyush P Kurur 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, I think the haskell-utf8-string package needs recompilation. I noticed it while trying to compile the lhs2tex program. Here is the message that I get when trying to load the module System.IO.UTF8 in ghci ------ Begin message ------------------------ Bad interface file: /usr/lib/utf8-string-0.3.5/ghc-6.10.3/System/IO/UTF8.hi mismatched interface file versions (wanted "6104", got "6103") ------ End message --------------------------------------- Regards ppk

I've tried to summarise the last 3 months of Haskell Platform activity: http://donsbot.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/haskell-platform-progress-report/ Including download statistics to inspire the packaging teams prior to this week's release :-) -- Don

[igloo@earth.li: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.10.4]
by Don Stewart 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

----- Forwarded message from Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> ----- Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:42:10 +0100 From: Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> To: glasgow-haskell-users(a)haskell.org, haskell(a)haskell.org Cc: Subject: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.10.4 ============================================================== The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.10.4 ============================================================== The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC. This release contains a number of bugfixes relative to 6.10.3, so we recommend upgrading. Release notes are here: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.4/html/users_guide/release-6-10-4.html How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place. Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~~~~~~~~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998 and revised December 2002. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below). On-line GHC-related resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web: GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC developers' home page http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/ Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Contributors Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty. The Building Guide describes how to go about porting to a new platform: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building Developers ~~~~~~~~~~ We welcome new contributors. Instructions on accessing our source code repository, and getting started with hacking on GHC, are available from the GHC's developer's site run by Trac: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Mailing lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We run mailing lists for GHC users and bug reports; to subscribe, use the web interfaces at http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs There are several other haskell and ghc-related mailing lists on www.haskell.org; for the full list, see http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ Some GHC developers hang out on #haskell on IRC, too: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IRC_channel Please report bugs using our bug tracking system. Instructions on reporting bugs can be found here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users(a)haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users ----- End forwarded message -----

Tips for re-compiling system
by Magnus Therning 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

By building haskell packages as I need them I've now managed to get into a sitution where I need to do some re-compilation in order for my system to make sense again. Are there any handy scripts, or tips for how to do a recompilation of Arch packages from AUR for solving this? It is my desire to install haskell-haxr that forces me to do this: Configuring haxr-3000.2.1... Warning: This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure. package HTTP-4000.0.6 requires network-2.2.1 package haxr-3000.2.1 requires network-2.2.1.1 Surely I can't be the first person to run into this, right? (I have been in the same situation after the upgrade of GHC to 6.3 too, but then I didn't have as many packages installed. :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Wanted: script for doing chroot clean room package building
by Don Stewart 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hey guys, So I'm trying to maintain quality in the AUR packages. I need nightly builds of packages to spot changes in deps (e.g. when GHC's core set changes, or when C libs change). To do this, I need a way to instantiate a clean Arch system, install GHC and the other pacman Haskell tools. Anyone got an example of how to do this? -- Don
