Have you considered adding all of the haskell platform packages to a group so that it's easier for people to install? I'm just getting back into haskell and I was a bit disappointed that despite all the support for haskell in arch (thanks!) I can't just install the platform in one shot like on windows.

Just FYI, I've updated the haskell-platform package: $ get haskell-platform --> resolving gmp... installed --> resolving ghc... installed --> resolving haskell-cabal... installed (provided by ghc) --> resolving haskell-glut=2.1.2.1... installed --> resolving haskell-http=4000.0.9... installed --> resolving haskell-hunit=1.2.2.1... installed --> resolving haskell-opengl=2.2.3.0... installed --> resolving haskell-quickcheck=2.1.0.3... installed --> resolving haskell-cgi=3001.1.7.2... installed --> resolving haskell-deepseq=1.1.0.0... installed --> resolving haskell-fgl=5.4.2.2... installed --> resolving haskell-haskell-src=1.0.1.3... installed --> resolving haskell-html=1.0.1.2... installed --> resolving haskell-mtl=1.1.0.2... installed --> resolving haskell-network=2.2.1.7... installed --> resolving haskell-parallel=2.2.0.1... installed --> resolving haskell-parsec=2.1.0.1... installed --> resolving haskell-regex-base=0.93.1... installed --> resolving haskell-regex-compat=0.92... installed --> resolving haskell-regex-posix=0.94.1... installed --> resolving haskell-stm=2.1.1.2... installed --> resolving haskell-xhtml=3000.2.0.1... installed --> resolving haskell-zlib=0.5.2.0... installed --> resolving cabal-install=0.8.0... installed --> resolving alex... installed --> resolving happy=1.18.4... installed (1/1) installing haskell-platform --> Done The only caveat is that you should install alex from AUR, as it is one version ahead of the version in [community]. vegai's updating it. -- Don P.S. where get = sudo bauerbill --trusted-users arch-haskell --build-as dons --no-color --noconfirm --aur -S $pkg
