I've received several offers of hosting [haskell]. It's wonderful to get such a great response from the members of the community. So far one of the offers has come to fruition, but I'd like to have a second site, just in case. I'll keep you updated on the progress.
As I mentioned there is a new server and now you can use the following entry for [haskell]:
~~~ [haskell] Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/$arch ~~~
I should probably point out that the repo is rather out-of-date compared to Hackage at this point. Lately I've spent more work on GHC 7.4 (in [ghc74]) than on keeping [haskell] on the edge. I'm very likely to keep this up because: * GHC 7.4 has already made it into [staging], which hopefully means it'll move into [extra] in the reasonably near future * There is a fairly large set of base packages (e.g. all packages in HP) which make updates in [haskell] quite a chore at this point * I consider it to be more value in getting packages into [ghc74] at this point At this time [ghc74] contains 85 packages, which includes the majority of packages currently found in [extra] & [community]. There is however quite a way left to match [haskell] (318 packages)... but I'm working on it. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
