Git Annex is in [haskell-web]
Hello, just wanted to say that now git-annex is in the repo. As it was a very hard beast to compile, please help me check if anything is wrong. Bye Fabio
Very cool, it's long been on my list of things to check out and you just
made it a little easier for me to do :)

As it depends on many packages in [habs-web] it seems more natural to stay there. Anyway we should take some time to reconsider this division... Fabio

I maintain git-annex as an AUR package since quite a long time now and as you said compiling it is not that easy. I wonder if I should continue packaging git-annex myself then. My package tries to have all the configuration switches for git-annex features and also compiles the documentation and runs the tests. At the very least my packaging will be simplified by the presence of all the dependencies in the haskell-web repo, thank you! Best regards, -- NP

I knew about the AUR package: actually I take "inspiration" from it. I added git-annex as you do asked for it. I think that you can use your AUR package, if you prefer, as git-annex isn't a library, it's not necessary (still recommended by Magnus) to recompile for every updated dependency. The drawback is that you need A LOT of installed dependencies just to build a static binary. If you install from the [habs-web] package, you don't even need ghc. Of course this isn't big issue for a Haskell developer (I assume that anybody interested in archhaskell is in some way a developer), but I feel it is a problem for spreading some very good Haskell application, including git-annex, xmonad, pandoc, gitit... Anyway, this is beyond the scope of this thread. My package doesn't include documentation (isn't it available on the website?), but comes with autostart and menu .desktop files. Of course, you can't do any customization, for that there's makepkg, or gentoo! ;P Fabio
