Re: [arch-haskell] Silly question (arch-haskell vs cabal)

23 Sep 2013

      Ramana, thank you for providing exactly the answer I was looking for! I
understand the differences between Cabal and cabal-install much better
now, thank you - this is a very informative article.

I have to admit, cabal-install has generallly just "worked" for me (as
an amateur starting out with Haskell), whereas arch-haskell has often
incurred failures when building. I am going to try again from a clean
sheet, and if I still have issues with arch-haskell, I will start
raising them with the community.

kind regards,
Dawid Loubser

        Hi all,
As a new user of arch-haskell, I would just like to put the
        question out
        there: What is the point of arch-haskell, vs using cabal? Is
        it simply
        for the elegance of using a single package manager (pacman)
        for all
        packages on my system (Haskell-related and not) or is there
        some other
        inherent problem I can expect down the line if I were to use
        the cabal
        ecosystem?
sorry if this is a redundant question -
