ghc 7.0.3 update complete
by Peter Simons 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi guys, we have a new release of cabal2arch, the binary repository for x86 has been re-built, and all updated PKGBUILDs have been uploaded to AUR. As far as I can tell, the transition to GHC 7.0.3 is complete. Take care, Peter

"Setup: Can't find transitive deps for haddock" with Leksah
by Mathew de Detrich 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Ok, so once again I have tried to compile/install leksah ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/leksah) with Haskell when using cabal2arch, and just after the package is 'built' (but not yet finalized) I get this error message Configuring leksah-0.10.0.4... Preprocessing library leksah-0.10.0.4... Preprocessing executables for leksah-0.10.0.4... Building leksah-0.10.0.4... Registering leksah-0.10.0.4... Linking dist/build/leksah/leksah ... Running Haddock for leksah-0.10.0.4... Preprocessing library leksah-0.10.0.4... Preprocessing executables for leksah-0.10.0.4... Setup: Can't find transitive deps for haddock Doing a google search, I found that this error has occurred in other places, but only in build log fails for hackagedb packages Note that the .cabal file for Leksah (incorrectly) has enable-shared one of the ghc build options, this needs to be removed for the package to build correctly (up until this error anyways); as well as the issue outlined below (see http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?2552829-Build+error+with+lekash+on+arch… for more info). I have attached a correct PKGBUILD/.install file in this email There also seems to be another error with cabal2arch, that puts the dependency haskell-leksah within the actual haskell-leksah package (of the same version as well) inside the PKGBUILD. I just removed that dependency from PKGBUILD to build leksah

Questions related dependencies of packages in [extra] & [community]
by Magnus Therning 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

I have 3 questions related to dependencies for haskell packages: 1. I noticed that the haskell packages in [extra] and [community] now depend on a specific revision (7.0.3-2) rather than just a specific version (e.g. 7.0.3) of ghc. Is this to make sure that if there is an ABI change due to a bump in the revision then users don't end up with an unusable system? 2. There are some dependencies on other haskell packages that also require a specific revision (e.g. haskell-haskeline). This does strike me as a good idea, again to prevent inconsistent user systems. It isn't consistent though (again, e.g. haskell-haskeline, its dependency on haskell-terminfo). Is it a bug that should be reported? 3. I also noticed the dependency on 'sh' for the first time. This strikes me as something that ought to be superfluous, isn't it? /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

ghc-7.0.3 & haskell-platform
by Vesa Kaihlavirta 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hello to all Haskellites, There's finally an upgraded haskell-platform and corresponding packages in extra/ -- reason for the delay was partly lack of brainpower (I had some time, but didn't have the energy to work with thought). When my summer vacation just started, I got enough quality time with the problem and managed to untangle the mess in minutes, really. What happened recently: - reversed FS#17875, which was alone causing all the trouble :( - ghc-7.0.3-2, haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0-4 went into testing repo - started moving everything else away from extra to community (-testing at first) * this is not many packages, I think it's just darcs, haddock and their dependencies - xmonad, xmonad-contrib and their deps built and uploaded to community-testing ghc-7.0.4 just came out, which fixes some nasty bugs, but sadly, the platform is not there yet. Rémy was doing some work on automating the whole rebuild process (which is currently about 20-30 separate build & install steps when doing manually), but I don't know how that went. --vk (vegai)

Hi, as far as I remember, haskell-binary used to be in [extra], but now it's gone. Does anyone know what happened? Take care, Peter
