Hi,
Not much to report for me. There was a huge ncurses update that required an upgrade of ghc to 6.8.2-2. Nothing changed there, just a rebuild. We thought of going to 6.8.3, but decided not to due to some issues that have been reported against it. 6.10 should be just around the corner, though.
I noticed that our ghc isn't built with the typical "distribution" optimization set, so I added that. That change didn't get to 6.8.2-2, though.
And just recently, I updated xmonad, xmonad-contrib to 0.8 and uploaded to i686. I'll upload x86_64 on monday.
I continue to synchronise hackage and AUR. We now have 534 Haskell packages (of the available 750 on hackage.haskell.org). Roughly 5 packages a day are updated. Now all libraries require a modern cabal, and list ghc as a dependency. -- Don
