Personally, as long as Arch ships GHC and cabal-install, I'm happy*. Frequently it works fine for me to cabal-install the last Haskell Platform with newer GHC. *and ships Darcs, which happens to be written in Haskell. -Isaac On 02/04/2012 08:11 AM, Peter Hercek wrote:
my opinion: ghc 7.4.1; forget about hp; if something does not build with ghc 7.4.1 then drop it from repository till some of the package users fix it and provide a patch if [extra] and [community] do not move just put ghc in [haskell]; I'm actually like the idea that there should not be anything haskell related in [extra]/[community]

It's been out for a day now... this would be a good time to decide whether ArchLinux should be bold and move to a haskell-platform-free state, or trudge on with HP and the ache it causes.
If we're moving to 7.4.1 there's a lot of work with getting ArchHaskell in shape for it, so the longer notice the better :)
If we're to trudge on with HP then we really ought to move to 2011.4.0.0, which also means a new version of GHC and a lot of work on ArchHaskell, so the longer notice the better :)
Please, please, please, can we move on this soon?
I'm available to help out with [extra]&[community] packages if need be, updating PKGBUILDs, building, verifying other's changes, etc.
