I thought I'd give cblrepo a try, and followed the instructions from https://github.com/archhaskell/habs#readme --but got a bunch of error messages: $ git clone git://github.com/archhaskell/habs.git Cloning into 'habs'... remote: Counting objects: 28074, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10477/10477), done. remote: Total 28074 (delta 16611), reused 27981 (delta 16526) Receiving objects: 100% (28074/28074), 3.40 MiB | 170 KiB/s, done.

At first I thought it was completely failing, but now I see it looks like it failed with only 14 packages and built around 140 others. Should this prevent me from going further and adding other packages that I want to build that are not in the [haskell] repo? Do I need to make the PKGBUILD files (and their directories) for all of the packages in the repo before adding my own? Do I need to actually _build_ the packages that are not my own (in the sense of making the Arch Linux packages that pacman can use, with makeahpkg)? I certainly hope not! -- Gregory D. Weber, Ph.
