Hi,

[haskell] seems to work fine with ghc 7.6.1 (the current ghc version in Arch repos) but my first try with [haskell-extra] has choked:

sudo pacman -S haskell-safe resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "ghc=7.4.2-1", a dependency of "haskell-safe"

Actually my sole need is to install hoogle and I am trying to achieve

by using the provided repos. As I quickly realize that manual cabal installs are not a good option, I try to minimize them. Here I am just a bit surprised that the first package I try from [haskell-extra] fails because it expects another version of ghc ... Am I missing something or is it "haskell-safe" that should be fixed or removed from the repository ?

It works nicely. I have had a timeout issue with [haskell-web]. Not so easy to solve because the internal pacman downloader does not currently provide a timeout setting (but it is always possible to use another one).
