Forwarded from the Arch Haskell list, as I think this is generally noteworthy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pugs, the one and only Perl 6 in Haskell implementation, was cabalised and uploaded to hackage.haskell.org today by Audrey and the Perl 6 team. 5 minutes later it landed in AUR, courtesy of cabal2arch :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17958 This is one of the more visible Haskell applications, and the only Perl 6 implementation we've handy, so worth testing that it builds OK. You can also get x86_64 binaries from the [haskell] overlay, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines#Haskell_Overl...
