I found out (on archlinux irc channel) that pacman does not store what repository a given package was installed from. So if we install a package which has the same name in both [extra] and [haskell] there is no easy way to find out what repository it was installed from. So if we happen to use different version of ghc in [haskell] and [extra] then we should add some tag to packages coming form [haskell] (e.g. add them to some group (like e.g. fromHaskellRepository). This is to allow an easier way to identify if some package is installed from different than [haskell] respository. Since such packages would cause breakage.
[haskell] is an add-on on top of [extra]/[community], so there is no need to tag packages in any way. This is why we are so interested in the plans for GHC and other Haskell packages in [extra]/[community]. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
