So, here comes my question: Considering I'm interested in Hakyll, could anyone recommend where should I grab all the related packages and required dependencies from?

Don't use AUR!

OK, I won't.

...

Check to see how many of the dependencies are in [haskell], if all are there: profit!

I will try this option tonight.

If only a few are missing you can always raise a bug to get them added (I look favourable upon existence of patches + pre-built packages).

I'm usually happy to contribute too, though in case of Haskell I'm green as Irish grass.

5. Mateusz, do you have any advice from your experience building this with Cabal?

Despite I am a newbie in the Haskell world, I haven't found any problems. I followed Haskell and Cabal documentation, and Magnus' suggestions, and everything went smooth.

I am glad to hear it. Sometimes installing packages with Cabal and with the distro packages can make an evil mess.

6. Will anyone besides myself find this useful?

I think it would help spreading the Hakyll easy way.

Already I am finding Hakyll wonderfully useful.
