Re: [arch-haskell] ghc-vis

 How would I go about building the Arch package before installing  it...?

1. clone https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/ 2. install `cblrepo` from [haskell-core] 3. run `cblrepo sync` 4. move into the `habs` repo and run `cblrepo add ...` to add    packages (one or many at once) 5. run `cblrepo pkgbuild <pkgs>` to generate source packages for the    packages you added 6. build all packages, in order (you can use `cblrepo build` to generate    a good build order) 7. install your new packages

 Can you please explain in more detail what you mean by that exactly?  How would I go about it?  1) pacman -S haskell-stack-bin  2) then? How do I find out if "ghc-vis produces one or more binaries"?

I'd start with `stack unpack ghc-vis`, then `stack init --resolver ghc-7.8` and see where that leads.

Thanks Magnus, much appreciated. I have installed cblrepo, have read https://github.com/magthe/cblrepo and will run through the above steps, Hope you don't mind if I follow-up on this thread if I run into problems I cannot solve with cblrepo. Thanks again.
