Hi,

the PKGBUILD files in "extra" have been generated with ancient versions of cabal2arch, like 0.4.1, and because of that they lack features such as the generation of Haddock reference documentation. Is there any way for us to update those files? Who has the ability to do that?

You'll need an Arch dev to do that.  Raise a bug on the bugtracker for the package in question.

I'll do that. Maybe I'll take the opportuniy to add haskell-tar as an official package, since it is a dependency of the archlinux library now.

For the moment I only did mtl, quickcheck and parsec. The packages in [extra] are different from what is output by cabal2arch in the sense that they enable shared libraries, profiling libraries and split-object files. -- Rémy.
