Another entry in the debate on ghc 7.4.1 :)
I've put up a repo containing ghc 7.4.1, darcs-beta (stable darcs doesn't build out of the box) and xmonad.
[ghc74] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/~magnus/$repo
Only built for x86_64 (since it's the future ;). Let me know if anyone's interested in building it for i686, then I'll share the source for it all.
I've now moved this, and updated it to work together with [testing]. The new repo is ~~~ [ghc74] Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/ghc74 ~~~ To use it I'd recommend the following procedure: 0. Remove all haskell packages 'pacman -Rncs ghc' 1. Add [testing] to /etc/pacman.conf 2. Run 'pacman -Sy 3. Install ghc from testing 'pacman -S testing/ghc' 4. Remove [testing] from /etc/pacman.conf 5. Add [ghc74] to /etc/pacman.conf 6. Run 'pacman -Sy 7. Re-install the haskell packages you want /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
