Is there already a repo with binaries for GHC7 and pre-releases of (parts of) HP 2011? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

The [staging] repo has ghc7 binaries and some libraries compiled with ghc7.

Where is the [staging] repo?

Simply enable it in your /etc/pacman.conf like [core]. I learned about it last year on this mailing list. On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 4:17 PM, Magnus Therning wrote:

Hmm, that page needs updating. It mentions a historical use of "[staging]", but recently an unrelated "[staging]" was created in order to upload packages for large rebuilds or such (This way [testing] doesn't have to go into a known-broken state every time we're in the middle of a rebuild. Making things a bit nicer for people who nicely test by running the [testing] repo regularly.). It's found right next to all the other repos, e.g. ftp.archlinux.org/staging next to ftp.archlinux.org/testing etc. There's also a [community-staging] to go along with [community-testing]. -Isaac

I have put in [staging] all current modules compiled for GHC 7 : when modules were part of the HP 2011 draft, I put the version corresponding to the cabal file. In [community-staging] there are rebuilds of community packages (notably xmonad and gtk2hs). I don't really want to have these packages in [testing] or [extra] before darcs and cabal-install have official compatible releases : cherry-picking patches was not exactly straightforward. -- Rémy.

Yes, I noticed that, and I've started an attempt to build [haskell] against that repo. I haven't gotten very far, only the three packages missing for a complete HP so far. If anyone's interested my changes are available at https://github.com/magthe/habs/tree/ghc7. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

I don't really want to have these packages in [testing] or [extra] before darcs and cabal-install have official compatible releases : cherry-picking patches was not exactly straightforward.

Are those the only things you are waiting for still, darcs and cabal-install? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Yes, only those. I think we can keep current darcs binary, since it's statically linked, but I'm not really sure about cabal-install. What is your opinion on that ? Rémy.

Since cabal-install is part of HP I expect that the version specified in HP 2011.2.0.0 *will* compile with the version of GHC specified :-) It looks like what we have now is good, but let's keep it in [staging] for now. Hopefully the final version of HP won't require huge changes. I think that moving GHC7 + other packages to [extra] can happen as soon as HP 2011.2.0.0 is released. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Darcs 2.5.1 was just uploaded to Hackage[1], and it built using GHC7, so that just might take care of that one :-) /M [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/darcs-2.5.1 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

would it be possible to send a quick announcement to this list when GHC7 support in [staging] is considered complete, i.e. ready to be moved to [extra]? Take care, Peter

Even better, keep us informed of when it goes into [testing] (I'm assuming it'll go there first). /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

I will send an announcement when GHC is moved to [testing] : many people are not Haskell programmers but need GHC to use xmonad, and I think a major GHC upgrade deserves some time (I would say several days, a week) before being moved to [extra]. Do you have an idea of when cabal-install will be released? -- Rémy.
