I've just created issue 20[1] for cabal2arch. Basically there's a problem with the data files provided in archlinux, but used in cabal2arch. Having data files in a library package breaks our basic assumption that executables only need to makedepend on the libraries it uses. In this case I still think that we should remove the data files completely from the packages and only host them at a well-known URL (on kiwilight.com or haskell.org). cabal2arch should then default to use that URL, for development and testing it might be interesting to add a command line switch to load it from another location, a URL or file. For now I assigned the issue to Remy. Feel free to re-assign it if you want to. This is a larger issue though and in the future we may have to revisit the assumption. I have a feeling that using shared objects (dynamic libraries) will force us to change it anyway. /M [1] https://github.com/archhaskell/cabal2arch/issues#issue/20 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
