So, here comes my question: Considering I'm interested in Hakyll, could anyone recommend where should I grab all the related packages and required dependencies from?

Don't use AUR!

OK, I won't.

Check to see how many of the dependencies are in [haskell], if all are there: profit!

I will try this option tonight.

If only a few are missing you can always raise a bug to get them added (I look favourable upon existence of patches + pre-built packages).

I'm usually happy to contribute too, though in case of Haskell I'm green as Irish grass.

You also must be willing to accept that future updates to packages might be delayed due to dependencies of other packages in [haskell].

Understood.

If all else fails you can always use Cabal.

Could you give (or point doc) overview of pros/cons of [haskell] vs Cabal? I understand one of cons is the delayed updates explained above. Thanks! Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
