Nice to see that some people actively work on ghc on OpenBSD (and apologies for me beeing such a slacker keeping the ghc package for OpenBSD up to date). FWIW, you don't have to pass the very exact package name to pkg_add, like 'autoconf-2.69p2' or ''automake-1.15p0'. There's a relatively new concept in pkg_tools called 'branches' (see pkg_add(1) manpage). You just have to replace the '-' separating the stem and the version by a '%', e.g. pkg_add autoconf%2.69 automake%1.15 Then you'll get autoconf-2.69 and aotmake-1.15 regardless of what's the current REVISION (aka package patchleve) ot the package.
