I've put together a package for 7.4.1, and then tried adding a few of the binary packages, and their dependencies. Here are the notes I took during it:
darcs can't be added due to a ceiling on the dependency on unix, and that version of unix can't be added with base==4.5
several dependency ceilings that prevent adding the latest version of libraries
I do not see a reason to be concerned by darcs package. It is only an executable. It does not matter which ghc it is compiled with. Only libraries depend on specific version of ghc.
darcs is currently in [community] and it has to be automatically compilable, using packages available in [core]/[extra]/[community]. So, if darcs is to remain in [commmunity] then a move to 7.4.1 *has* to be concerned with it and all its dependencies.
What other Haskell binaries do we have in [extra]& [community]?

It does not seem we have hasked-storage in extra/community.
It seems like you are missing some packages from extra/community. I'm not saying you should add them all. If you do not add them all just let us know so that we know we cannot mix new haskell with the old stuff in extra/community. Oooo, how I miss ghcDependency group in extra/haskell so that I can just ban them all with one line :) Here is the list of all packages I noticed, the ones you miss have * at the end of the line:
[...]
I do not have all these installed nor I'm sure they are all libraries (where the ghc version matters). I got the list by scanning the output of pacman -Ss haskell |grep -E 'community/|extra/'
I deliberately skipped all the "free" libraries, but having your list will make it a bit easier to gauge the impact of a move to 7.4.1, so it's much appreciated. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
