Brilliant, I know there are a few of us who have been waiting for this. /M On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 05:15:43PM +0300, Vesa Kaihlavirta wrote:

Hello to all Haskellites,

There's finally an upgraded haskell-platform and corresponding packages in extra/ -- reason for the delay was partly lack of brainpower (I had some time, but didn't have the energy to work with thought). When my summer vacation just started, I got enough quality time with the problem and managed to untangle the mess in minutes, really.

What happened recently:

- reversed FS#17875, which was alone causing all the trouble :( - ghc-7.0.3-2, haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0-4 went into testing repo - started moving everything else away from extra to community (-testing at first) * this is not many packages, I think it's just darcs, haddock and their dependencies - xmonad, xmonad-contrib and their deps built and uploaded to community-testing

ghc-7.0.4 just came out, which fixes some nasty bugs, but sadly, the platform is not there yet.

Rémy was doing some work on automating the whole rebuild process (which is currently about 20-30 separate build & install steps when doing manually), but I don't know how that went.

I noticed that a rebuild of haskell-hslogger is lingering in [testing], does it need any more work or can it be pushed into [extra]/[community]? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
