Before bringing up bad news, I'd like to express again my pleasure that the Haskell Platform installs after upgrading to GHC 7. Three cheers for the [haskell] repo maintainers! Everything else that I've tried to upgrade fails: haskell-csv ----------- warning: cannot resolve "haskell-filepath=1.1.0.4", a dependency of "haskell-cs\ v" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-csv But on hackage, csv 0.1.2's package description does not require a specific version of filepath. I suppose that something in the package building process ties this to the version of haskell-filepath for a particular version of GHC, and that similar remarks apply to the other packages below, and a lot of others. haskell-pandoc -------------- warning: cannot resolve "haskell-http=4000.0.9", a dependency of "haskell-pando\ c" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-pandoc But the package description for pandoc 1.8.1.1 says HTTP (≥4000.0.5 & <4000.2), haskell-gtk ----------- -bash-4.2# pacman -Ss haskell-gtk -bash-4.2# pacman -Ss haskell-gtk haskell/haskell-gtk 0.12.0-3 Binding to the Gtk+ graphical user interface library. -bash-4.2# pacman -S haskell-gtk resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "haskell-array=0.3.0.1", a dependency of "haskell-gtk" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-gtk haskell-hxt ----------- # pacman -S haskell-hxt resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "haskell-hunit=1.2.2.1", a dependency of "haskell-hxt" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies\ : haskell-hxt Concluding request ------------------ I think our [haskell] repo maintainers are probably aware of the problems, but since I've not heard any news from them about this since GHC 7 went into extra, I just wanted to make sure. I believe there are 199 packages on the repo, so this is a lot of work and I'm prepared to be patient. It would just be nice to hear a little from the repo maintainers about their progress and/or plans -- for example, announcements about individual packages being made ready. Thanks again for all of your valuable work. Greg -- ___ ___ __ _ / _ \ / _ \| | | | Gregory D.
