There was a recent Arch-Haskell thread about dumping most of AUR
Haskell packages:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/arch-haskell/2011-November/001744.html
As an end user, I effectively ignore the official Arch Haskell
packages as they are so far out of date. I'm also now trying to
disregard most of the AUR since I came across that thread. Haskell is
starting to feel fragile on Arch.
What about moving *all* Haskell related packages to the Haskell Arch
repo? All the Haskell Platform stuff, alex, happy, etc.

Guys, what's happening with haskell support in Arch?
Xmonad, and now GHC and lots of packages in the supported repos are not keeping update with upstream.
i vote for dropping xmonad and all packages to aur and let the community handle them.
it seems we are not doing a great job at keeping them up to date.
