A short update.
I got confused in the process and I restarted from scratch hence the time since my last mail.
I have almost all the packages compiled. I have uploaded them to http://arch.adrienhaxaire.org.
Amongst others, what does not compile: xmonad-contrib xmonad-extras gtk hlint basically all archive which size is 1K
Also some patches do not apply well:

I'll have more time to make a full report tomorrow. In the meantime, please let me know if the uploaded packages are ok, so that I can restart a new cycle if something went wrong.
I'd recommend you fetch the latest changes I've made to the git repo. There's a new pkgrel of GHC itself (7.4.1-2) as well as some fixes to the patches. Some extra instructions: - After creating all the PKGBUILDs it's necessary to adjust the dependency on GHC (unless you modify `cblrepo` and build a new version of it), e.g. by executing something like for f in */PKGBUILD; do sed -e 's/\(.*\)ghc=7\.4\.1-1\(.*\)/\1ghc=7.4.1-2\2/' -i $f done - It's not possible to record dependencies on tools in Cabal files, instead that is done in some of the patches. Unfortunately this means that `clbrepo` can't produce a build order that is 100% guaranteed to work; a bit of manual tweaking of the ,,build-order file may be necessary. I think the only tools in question are `alex`, `happy` and `gtk2hs-buildtools`.
