Re: [arch-haskell] darcs patch: Typo correction in String Constant (and 2 more)

matt:

Hello,

I hacked on cabal2arch a bit tonight. I removed the hand-coded list of core packages in favour of generating the list dynamically.

I use the GHC API to parse the global package database. This entails dependencies on ghc and ghc-paths (oh well.)

I've assumed that any package with all its library-dirs inside /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3 (actually, the libdir from GHC.Paths) is a core package. This seems to exclude all the external packages, which get installed to /usr/lib/$PkgName-$PkgVer/. Anybody know if this is a bad assumption?

This looks great. It saves us the problem of redoing that list on a compile upgrade. Cheers! -- Don
