Hi Don,
I would be happy to contribute some time and effort to the project. Can I help in some way?
Yes, I think you can. I need to package up my scripts so that it is easy for anyone to update our packages. Stay tuned for more details.
are there any news?
Several packages on AUR that I'd like to use are out-of-date or outright broken because of out-of-date dependencies. I'd really like to help improve that situation. I have cabal2arch and I know how to use it. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that's preventing me from updating packages on AUR is the fact that I don't have the necessary system privileges to do it.
There are some other scripts that need to be in place. My timeline for this is: * Release updated versions of cabal2arch and archlinux packages [done] * GHC 6.12.3 into extra * Release all additional scripts (i.e. for generating http://www.galois.com/~dons/arch-haskell-status.html , and process for updating. * Create group account. * Hand over maintainership for packages. -- Don
