Magnus, thanks. Q1: Any plans for haskell-xmonad-darcs / haskell-xmonad-contrib-darcs? Q2: If not, do you recommend I just install the whole of xmonad via cabal instead in order to use this module (until 10.1 is released)? Cheers, -es On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 5:47 AM, Magnus Therning wrote:

I'm using the arch-haskell repos now and very happy with the results. The only snag I've hit is this: I'm trying to use XMonad.Actions.Navigation2D which is not in the exposed modules list of haskell-xmonad-contrib currently. This is probably coals to Newcastle, but here's the PDF

of that module - http://web.cs.dal.ca/~nzeh/xmonad/Navigation2D.pdf

Questions:

1. Is there a way to expose this module easily using the current haskell-xmonad-contrib package (i.e. by simply editing that exposed modules list)? I assume 'no'.

2. Assuming no, what is the best strategy for installing this module that best conforms to continued use of the arch-haskell repos? Once I step off the path so to speak, I'm really not sure if I shouldn't just be using cabal for everything instead of the repos.

3. If there is a channel to lobby for adding this module to haskell-xmonad-contrib, and assuming that this is that channel, please consider this my upvote :)

That module is not available in the version of xmonad-contrib released on Hackage (0.10). It looks like it'll be in 0.10.1 though: http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/xmonad-contrib.cabal

Why not grab the packages from AUR instead? For instance, xmonad-contrib-darcs: http://is.gd/3r09GG

AUR xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs both fail on dependencies which is what drove me to switch over to the haskell- repos in the first place. Of course I can edit the pkgbuild or fork that package to yet-another-AUR-package but my xmonad installation is part of a fully automated install process and I'd rather not. If there isn't a good alternative, I'll just edit my xmonad.hs to stop using (the excellent) X.A.2DNavigation until 10.1 is officially in your repos. -es
