Re: [arch-haskell] How to currently install haskell packages?

Sorry, I send a private mail by mistake. Resending. Can it be that haskell-text in extra depends on haskell-deepseq which is provided by ghc in *testing*? I may be mistaken but this it what I understand from haskell-text package page on archlinux.org. On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 5:19 PM, Jonathan Lahav wrote:

Unrelated to that, isn't it weird I can't install haskell-text from extra? I don't think it has anything to do with me trying to build haskell-download. In google cache you can still see that Arch had a package named haskell-deepseq which is a dependency of haskell-text and it is not there anymore.

Am I totally off or there is something wrong here?

When you wrote "or add it to ArchHaskell" I though "oh, really? can I do that?"

So I tried.

Excellent!

First step was to install cabal2arch from [Haskell], then I did "cabal update && cabal fetch download" and extracted the tar.gz. I ran cabal2arch on the .cabal file, this produced a PKGBUILD and .install files. Next, I tried makepkg -s and there I got stuck.

We don't use cabal2arch any more, instead we use cblrepo. There is documentation included in the Git repo for ArchHaskell[1], and there's documentation for cblrepo in its Git repo[2]. Feedback on the documentation is always welcome :)
