That works for the haskell platform? On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 12:12 PM, Tony Morris wrote:

Hi Joe, You might consider installing the 6.8 package to bootstrap a 6.10 compile. I've done it a few times with high success and pretty straight-forward.

There's no ubuntu package for 6.10 (only 6.8), and the haskell platform says you need 6.10 installed to build the source package.

At work we use hardy and to get the latest haskell stuff I did the following:

a) Install ghc-6.8. b) Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib

c) Get the sources to ghc-6.10 using:

apt-get build-dep ghc6 apt-get source ghc-6.10

d) Build the package and install it. e) Apt get the sources to the libraries and build/install them.

Its painful and you do need to be reasonably comfortable with building debian packages, but it worked for me.

And in Karmic, but the original poster asked about Hardy.

I've got close to 1000 kiosk style machines in the field, with the vast majority being spread out across the US (I live in Australia). These machines have no keyboard, just a network connection (not particularly high bandwidth).

How do you propose that I upgrade these machines? What do I do with the machines that fail during upgrade?

Upgrading is not always the right answer.
