I just found out the hard way that Hackage has been modified to allow minor edits of .cabal files without bumping the version number. This is not an uncontroversial feature[1]. The current situation is particularly irritating since the changes are reflected only on the web interface and the 00-index, but not in the packages themselves. The first victim of this is pandoc; the dependency on http-client in 1.13.1 has been changed. Previously it required a patch for ArchHaskell, but it doesn't any longer. Well, that is, it doesn't require one for creating the PKGBUILD (based on the 00-index), but it does while building (naturally based on the tar-ball). I'm currently thinking about possible solutions to this. Most likely I'll have to pull in the .cabal from the 00-index into the package and replace the one found in the tar-ball. However, I'd like to think about it a bit more before deciding how to handle it. So, the end result is that there won't be updates until I've had time to modify cblrepo to handle this :-( /M [1]: https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/52 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay
