haskell-xmonad currently broken with the latest xorg update ?
Hi, I was just wondering why ghc and haskell-xmonad is duplicated in the [haskell-core] repo ? It makes the process rather weak ... If I am not mistaken the last xorg update currently breaks haskell-xmonad. I guess there is a good reason but the [haskell-core] maintainer need now to be able to update as quick as the extra repo does. Cheers, - Pierre
xmonad seems to work fine for me - I'm on Arch-64, w/
haskell-core/haskell-xmonad 0.11-4
haskell-core/haskell-x11 1.6.1.1-2
extra/libx11 1.5.0-2
You're worried that an update to libx11 or some related C library in extra
broke the bindings in haskell-x11?

Because it is much easier to maintain [haskell-core] that way.

I'm not sure what you mean by "weak" here. We used to base [haskell-core] (back then it was called just [haskell]) on [extra], but found it cumbersome to track changes--there was no way to be notified about changes to specific packages (maybe that's possible nowadays). We were also not able to track Hackage as closely as we want.

No, you as the user of [haskell-core] should place it *above* [extra] in your pacman configuration to make sure that [haskell-core] packages are preferred over [extra]. Mixing Haskell packages from [extra] and [haskell-core] is *not* recommended, if you do you are entirely on your own. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
