Re: [arch-haskell] Fwd: gitit status update and why are deps needed for binaries

I think it's unnecessary (and even annoying for many users) to have all packages that contains binaries split. Beside it requires modifying cblrepo. Unless the demand increases, I would suggest to simply manually split (via *.pkgbuild patches) only explicitly requested packages, like pandoc and gitit.

IIRC, the regular installation doesn't support it (i.e. via Cabal). What we need is specific recipes to package tools and lib parts into separate packages, i.e. a split package.

Just playing around a little with one of the packages currently in the repo comprising both a lib and a binary resulted in the attached PKGBUILD (shake). It might be close to what a solution could look like.

Thanks for having a try at this, it looks good! Have you tested it or you wish for somebody to try it out?

I have not tested it, and there might be quite a bit of testing necessary I'm afraid.
