Hi all, As I'm sure you know GHC 7.6.1 has been released[1]. The Arch devs are, as always amazingly quick, so there's already a source package available for GHC 7.6.1. I don't believe it's in [testing] already, so I went ahead and built it for x86_64 and made it available at [2]. Please go ahead and play with it if you want, and report any issues with it both on this list (Thomas and Vesa, please let people know if and how you'd like to receive anything that's found). At the moment there's a fairly long list of packages that prevent an immediate move to 7.6.1 in [haskell]. I'll try to start working on reducing that list during the coming week. This is the list as it looks at the moment: Adding base 4.6.0.0 would break: HTTP : base >=3 && >=2 && <4.6 cblrepo : base ==4.5.* dataenc : base >=3.0.0 && <4.6 haddock : base >=4.3 && <4.6 && >=4.3 && <4.6 split : base <4.6 Adding bytestring 0.10.0.0 would break: anansi : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 && >=0.9 && <0.10 blaze-html : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 blaze-markup : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 cblrepo : bytestring ==0.9.* http-types : bytestring >=0.9.1.5 && <0.10 pureMD5 : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 system-fileio : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 system-filepath : bytestring >=0.9 && <0.10 zlib : bytestring ==0.9.* Adding containers 0.5.0.0 would break: GLUT : containers >=0.3 && <0.5 anansi : containers >=0.1 && <0.5 && >=0.1 && <0.5 bytestring-show : containers <0.5 dataenc : containers >=0.1.0 && <0.5 pandoc : containers >=0.1 && <0.5 && >=0.1 && <0.5 && >=0.1 && <0.5 parallel-io : containers >=0.2 && <0.5 scion-browser : containers >=0.2 && <0.5 && >=0.2 && <0.5 Adding directory 1.2.0.0 would break: cblrepo : directory ==1.1.* haskeline : directory >=1.0 && <1.2 pandoc : directory >=1 && <1.2 && >=1 && <1.2 && >=1 && <1.2 temporary : directory >=1.0 && <1.2 Adding integer-gmp 0.5.0.0 would break: bytestring-show : integer-gmp >=0.2 && <0.5 Adding unix 2.6.0.0 would break: cblrepo : unix ==2.5.* system-fileio : unix >=2.3 && <2.6 temporary : unix >=2.3 && <2.6 Adding Cabal 1.16.0 would break: cabal-file-th : Cabal >=1.10 && <1.15 cblrepo : Cabal ==1.14.* /M [1]: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_6_1 [2]: http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/testing/x86_64/ghc-7.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.x... -- 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
