I have finally moved the new ghc to arch repos.
Excellent news. I'll try to make sure [haskell] catches up ASAP. [...]
There are still some issues left with the current situation of haskell on arch, but these will take time and communication with upstream. *I need to figure out what to do about haddock since ghc only packages the binary and thus provides only half the package with ghc. This is the reason why we packaged haskell-haddock even though the ghc package already provides the haddock binary.
There should be a release on Hackage of 2.10.0 already.
*The post-install messages related to haskell packages can get pretty long. There is a proposed solution with a patch, but I need to figure out if there is any way we can work it out with upstream first.
This relates to a completely superfluous 'echo' in /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/gen_contents_index (line 50). Until it's addressed you can get rid of the flooding by just deleting the line locally. /M -- 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
