hi there.
I ran into some troubles installing haskell-platform today. Specifically, community contained haskell-zlib-0.5.2.0, which is too recent, and there was no pkgbuild for haskell-zlib-0.5.0.0 in AUR.
So I'm wondering : can the arch-haskell script maintain a version of all dependencies of the haskell-platform in AUR, so we don't have problems installing it ?
It can, but it becomes harder if [community] updates independent of the platform spec -- that's actually in violation of Arch supporting the platform...
Or maybe having a set of pkgbuilds with a name like haskell-zlib-hp to explicitely state that it is the version blessed by the haskell-platform ?
That may be the only way to get people to stop bumping versions ahead of the platform ... *or* ... we get the full platform into community...
