New GHC -- any wishes on how it should be built?
by Magnus Therning 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hi all, Now there's a new version of GHC out, 7.8.3. This means a complete rebuild of [haskell-core] is necessary, which also means that NOW is the perfect time to make fundamental changes to our packages, e.g. to change from the 'perf' build profile to 'pref-llvm', or move the location of the documentation. I've not received any such wishes via issues on Github, but maybe there's someone out there thinking "oh, if they only changed this in how Arch Haskell packages are built, then the world would be 10 times better". If you are that someone, then please speak up now! :) I'll start the big rebuild at 12:00 UTC tomorrow, 2014-07-14. So you have until then to voice your suggestions. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus As long as there are ill-defined goals, bizarre bugs, and unrealistic schedules, there will be Real Programmers willing to jump in and Solve The Problem, saving the documentation for later.

xsounds.org deprecated or down ?

Hi, `xsounds.org` has been down for a few days now. Is it still a correct pointer for [haskell-core] ? Cheers,

aura won't upgrade (looks like a cabal version issue)
by Martin DeMello 30 May '14

I had the same problem (among others) while trying to install haskell-elm, incidentally. it might be due to there being both haskell-core/cabal-install 1.18.0.3-8 [installed] extra/cabal-install 1.20.0.1-1 [installed: 1.18.0.3-8] but haskell-core is before extra in my pacman.conf. full list of repos: [core] [haskell-core] [haskell-happstack] [infinality-bundle] [infinality-bundle-fonts] [extra] [community] ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's the issue: $ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.18.0.3 using version 1.18.1.3 of the Cabal library $ sudo aura -A aura aura >>= Determining dependencies... aura >>= AUR Packages: aura aura >>= Continue?

Hi list. I'll ask as naively as possible in hopes of helping (me but also) someone else. Being new, I've managed to hose my Arch haskell installation fairly well. I've been tracking haskell-core [haskell-core] ###Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/core/$arch Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/core/$arch and from there # Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup #IgnorePkg = haskell-aeson 0.6.2.1-3 #IgnorePkg = haskell-attoparsec 0.10.4.0-4 #IgnorePkg = haskell-blaze-builder 0.3.3.0-1 #IgnorePkg = haskell-blaze-html 0.6.1.2-1 #IgnorePkg = haskell-blaze-markup 0.5.1.6-1 #IgnorePkg = haskell-data-default 0.5.3-2 #IgnorePkg = haskell-data-default-instances-dlist 0.0.1-2 #IgnorePkg = haskell-dlist 0.5-27 #IgnorePkg = haskell-graphviz [etc] , this because I was trying to maintain an installation of Pandoc which relied on "older" packages by the time I had managed to install something newer, maybe bloomfilter. Anyway, by now ghc is up to 7.8.2 and I remain with a lot of built-depends over 7.6.3. pacman is upset. I hesitate to hack in anything from [haskell-testing] until I'm more conceptually clear. I even built big swaths of habs, on my local, to see what would happen, so, guidance as regards the intended purpose, or advanced use, of some of these tools is appreciated. Pointers to relevant documentation or system files are naturally most welcome. Thank you. Al Matthews Atlanta, GA US

Adding non-Hackage apps to habs
by Richard Wallace 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello, I'd like to get aura[1] added to habs. I didn't realize when I started that it isn't up on Hackage yet. I did some experimenting trying to get it added to habs, but it looks like there isn't really a way to add it to the cblrepo.db since it isn't on Hackage. It looks like the only way to get aura added is to create a static directory with the PKGBUILD. Would this be an acceptable approach or should I push the maintainer to get aura added to Hackage instead (he said that he will add version 2.0 to Hackage, but I can try and push to get the current version up on Hackage)? Thanks, Rich

Re: [arch-haskell] haskell-src-exts: Illegal instruction (core dumped)
by Nicola Squartini 03 May '14

03 May '14

It has been proposed here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/llvm-dev/gGivQ38EHIY that LLVM should not autodetect the cpu by default, but only if the flag -mcpu=native is passed. This is what GCC does already with -march=native. BTW Magnus, did you try the patch that I sent yet?

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
