Hi, This is a call to create pacman group with name haskell (or ghc or something similar). All packages which depend on ghc would belong to the group. The reason why I would like to see this is to allow disabling update of any ghc dependency easily in pacman.conf. It would be cool if something like "IgnoreGroup = haskell" in /etc/pacman.conf would postpone update of any ghc dependency. Normally non-haskell packages do not need this but since haskell has no backward binary compatibility it can be really useful sometimes. If somebody installs everything from haskell, then this would also allow installing everything at once (using the group name). Although for this to work we might need first to make sure there are no duplicates between extra/community/haskell repositories. Not sure how trying to install whole group would behave when it hits duplicates (like e.g. gtk2hs-gtk in community and haskell-gtk2hs-gtk in haskell (well, the one in haskell is more useful since it provides glade bindings too)). Any opinions? Can we do it next time there is some big update? Peter.
