* I added a module Distribution.ArchLinux.HackageTranslation which gives two main functions: - getCabalsFromTarball turns a tarball (ByteString) to a list on GenericPackageDescription - getSpecifiedCabalsFromTarball takes a [String] as additional argument to extract only several items The [String] argument is a set of lines like in the attached PKGLIST file.
Cool. Are you also going to make cabal2arch use those new functions?
I pushed the last changes I wanted to make. I left the semantics of cabal2arch unchanged so that any AUR helper that uses it may continue working. I added a script "manycabal2arch" to cabal2arch that makes use of the HackageTranslation module to produce a whole ABS tree from 00-index.tar and a given list of packages. I have no other features to add for the next release. -- Rémy.
