Hello,
I'd like to get aura[1] added to habs. I didn't realize when I started that it isn't up on Hackage yet. I did some experimenting trying to get it added to habs, but it looks like there isn't really a way to add it to the cblrepo.db since it isn't on Hackage.
It looks like the only way to get aura added is to create a static directory with the PKGBUILD. Would this be an acceptable approach or should I push the maintainer to get aura added to Hackage instead (he said that he will add version 2.0 to Hackage, but I can try and push to get the current version up on Hackage)?
There is currently no way to add a package that isn't on Hackage. This is fairly deeply rooted in `cblrepo` but I have started taking a few steps in the direction where it'd be possible to have more than one Hackage the idea was to make it possible to use something like yackage[1]. Yackage has been deprecated, but on the other hand hackage itself is available via hackage :) The maintenance burden is too high for me to keep any package statically in habs: 1. Updates are not found automatically 2. PKGBUILDs can't be generated automatically (IIRC) Hackage is the way forward! /M [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/yackage -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
