I spoke to vegai last night -- he's coordinating the rebuilding of the packages so the full HP will be in binary form in Extra. gdweber:
Well, I see that GHC 6.12.3-1 arrived in Arch Extra yesterday, August 18, 2010.
It's nice to see, also, the bunches of AUR haskell-* packages that are queued up, ready to upgrade ...
only it seems that a few packages are holding up the show:
# bauerbill -Su
......
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: haskell-binary: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-deepseq: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-haskell-src: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-hunit: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-pandoc: requires haskell-utf8-string>=0.3 :: haskell-parallel: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-quickcheck: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-quickcheck: requires haskell-mtl=1.1.0.2-3 :: haskell-xhtml: requires ghc=6.12.1 :: haskell-zip-archive: requires haskell-utf8-string>=0.3.1
Most of these packages are in Extra. One of those in Extra already had a bug report by Stefan Husmann, and I've filed reports for the rest. (I guess that's the appropriate thing to do, rather than complain to this list, because I gather the maintainers of packages on Extra are not necessarily subscribers?)
In case you'd like to vote for fixing these bugs, here are the links: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20509?project=1&string=haskell-binary http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20526?project=1&string=haskell-deepseq http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20527?project=1&string=haskell-haskell-src http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20528?project=1&string=haskell-hunit http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20529?project=1&string=haskell-quickcheck http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20530?project=1&string=haskell-xhtml
The only ones in AUR are haskell-pandoc and haskell-zip-archive, both of which need a version of haskell-utf8-string, which apparently can't be upgraded because ghc cannot be upgraded because of the aforesaid guilty packages in Extra.

Hey,
Anyone got an ETA for when GHC 6.12.3 will be in Arch? It's holding up my updating of the AUR packages.
I got some encouraging words in an email from Vesa dated 2010-07-10.[1] He must have been interrupted by something else though :-(
I also didn't get any comments on my attempt at bumping GHC to 6.12.3[2].
Hopefully Arch will catch up with Gentoo soon ;-)
