ANN: hledger 0.24
by Simon Michael 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

Happy Christmas/Holidays/New Year all! I’m pleased to announce hledger and hledger-web 0.24. Highlights of this release include: CSV export, a non-floating point number representation, more powerful account aliases, speedups, and a streamlined web UI. Release notes: http://hledger.org/release-notes.html#hledger-0.24 Release contributors: Simon Michael, Julien Moutinho, Ryan Desfosses, Gergely Risko, Gwern. Installation: cabal install hledger[-web] or see http://hledger.org/download hledger (http://hledger.org) is a command-line tool, web app and haskell library for tracking and reporting on financial transactions, stored in a human-readable plain text format. It can also read CSV or timelog files, and export CSV. It provides useful reports and can also help you record new transactions interactively. Add-on commands include hledger-irr (for calculating internal rate of return) and hledger-interest (for generating interest transactions). hledger is inspired by and largely compatible with Ledger. I wish you a very merry, balanced and prosperous 2015. -Simon

Building fresh cabal-install on raspberry-pi
by Konstantine Rybnikov 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

Hi! I just got raspberry pi and installed debian wheezy on it. It has ghc 7.4.1 with cabal 1.14.0. I tried to do cabal install cabal-install and got this: ``` In-place registering Cabal-1.20.0.3... Installing library in /home/pi/.cabal/lib/arm-linux-ghc-7.4.1/Cabal-1.20.0.3 Registering Cabal-1.20.0.3... Downloading cabal-install-1.20.0.4... Configuring cabal-install-1.20.0.4... cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: random >=1 && <1.1 && ==1.1 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: cabal-install-1.20.0.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ``` If I do `cabal list --installed | less` and search for random I see: ``` * random Synopsis: random number library Default available version: 1.1 Installed versions: 1.0.1.1, 1.1 License: BSD3 ``` Can anyone please help how do I resolve this and similar problems? Thanks!

is gldrawingarea an instance of widgetclass
by briand＠aracnet.com 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

I get this : No instance for (Gtk.WidgetClass GtkGL.GLDrawingArea) arising from a use of `Gtk.boxPackStart' in code that was compiling at one point. This is how I'm importing import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk.OpenGL as GtkGL then glCanvas <- GtkGL.glDrawingAreaNew glconfig and use it thusly: Gtk.boxPackStart hBox1 glCanvas Gtk.PackNatural 0 boxPackStart wants something WidgetClass, and GLDrawingArea seems to be an instance of widget class. The gtkglext hasn't been touched in quite a while. I'm wondering if it's become out of date with the latest gtk. ?? Thanks, Brian

How best to deal with Monoid/Applicative changes in 7.10 in a backwards-compatable way
by Doug Burke 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

I'm trying out the ghc 7.10 RC and am seeing lots of warnings about Monoid and some symbols from Control.Applicative - e.g. The import of ‘Data.Monoid’ is redundant except perhaps to import instances from ‘Data.Monoid’ To import instances alone, use: import Data.Monoid() For now I'm wrapping the import with some CPP so that it will still compile with older ghc versions (and a probably-pointless attempt to be non-ghc-specific, since I have never tested my code with other compilers): #if (!defined(__GLASGOW_HASKELL__)) || (__GLASGOW_HASKELL__ < 710) import Control.Applicative (Applicative(pure), (<$>), (<*>)) import Data.Monoid (Monoid(..)) #else import Control.Applicative ((<$>)) #endif Is this the best way? Am I missing something really obvious? Thanks, Doug

Re: [Haskell-cafe] HPC and Template Haskell (GHC 7.8.3, Yesod)

Ok, I can reproduce this with a bare Yesod scaffold (using the latest cabal-install) - see below. If I run cabal build a couple more times, it completes successfully, which is mighty strange! [linuxadmin@vm01 20:19:43 ~ ] $ yesod init Welcome to the Yesod scaffolder. I'm going to be creating a skeleton Yesod project for you. What do you want to call your project? We'll use this for the cabal name. Project name: linker-test Yesod uses Persistent for its (you guessed it) persistence layer. This tool will build in either SQLite or PostgreSQL or MongoDB support for you. We recommend starting with SQLite: it has no dependencies. s = sqlite p = postgresql pf = postgresql + Fay (experimental) mongo = mongodb mysql = MySQL simple = no database, no auth url = Let me specify URL containing a site (advanced) So, what'll it be? simple That's it! I'm creating your files now... --------------------------------------- ___ {-) |\ [m,].-"-. / [][__][__] $/\__/$/ [__][__][__][__]~~~~ | | [][__][__][__][__][] / | [__][__][__][__][__]| /| | [][__][__][__][__][]| || | ~~~~ ejm [__][__][__][__][__]__,__, \__/ --------------------------------------- The foundation for your web application has been built.

Weird reachability issue with haskell.org my my Italian ISP (fastweb)
by Alfredo Di Napoli 23 Dec '14

Hello Cafè, let me start with the email I've sent to Rackspace, which will help you understand the context: Hi there! > I'm trying to understand how come I can't reach www.haskell.org from my ISP > here in Italy (fastweb).

That's very weird indeed, as every other website is reachable, only haskell.org is not! How funny my fate is! I'm one of the few Haskellers in Italy and yet I cannot access the website.. perhaps is the consequence of "Avoid success at all costs"?? :) :) Jokes aside, do you guys know (I'm asking mainly to Austin here) if rackspace uses some weird setup for their website deployment or if haskell.org is hosted "the usual way" and listening on port 80? Thanks in advance for the 1% who is concerned, for all the other 99%, merry Xmas ;) Alfredo

Allocating a new ByteString
by Tristan Seligmann 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

I'm calling a function by FFI that returns two strings by writing into output buffers that you provide. The code I currently have looks like this (minus some error handling): > import qualified Data.ByteString as S > import qualified Data.ByteString.Unsafe as SU > > import Foreign.C (CChar, CInt(..), CSize(..)) > import Foreign.ForeignPtr (mallocForeignPtrBytes, withForeignPtr) > import Foreign.Ptr (Ptr) > import System.IO.Unsafe (unsafePerformIO) > > seed_keypair :: S.ByteString -> (S.ByteString, S.ByteString) > seed_keypair seed | S.length seed /= signSeed = error "seed has incorrect length" > | otherwise = unsafePerformIO $ do > pk <- mallocForeignPtrBytes signPK > sk <- mallocForeignPtrBytes signSK > SU.unsafeUseAsCString seed $ \pseed -> > withForeignPtr pk $ \ppk -> > withForeignPtr sk $ \psk -> do > 0 <- c_sign_seed_keypair ppk psk pseed > bpk <- S.packCStringLen (ppk, signPK) > bsk <- S.packCStringLen (psk, signSK) > return (bpk, bsk) > > foreign import ccall "crypto_sign_seed_keypair" > c_sign_seed_keypair :: Ptr CChar -> Ptr CChar -> Ptr CChar -> IO CInt However, this needlessly makes a copy of the output buffers to create the final result. What I really want to do is just write the string directly into a buffer allocated and used by a new ByteString; is there some way to accomplish this? (Any other comments about what I'm doing would also be appreciated, this happens to be my first attempt at using FFI!) -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar

Latest Template Haskell Breaks Package
by Dominic Steinitz 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hello Fellow Haskellers, I have become a maintainer for yarr (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yarr) This no longer compiles with ghc-7.8.3 because it specifies base == 4.6. Relaxing this to base >=4.6 && <4.8 tells me I need a newer version of Template Haskell > rejecting: template-haskell-2.7.0.0, 2.6.0.0, 2.5.0.0, 2.4.0.1, 2.4.0.0, > 2.3.0.1, 2.3.0.0, 2.2.0.0 (conflict: yarr => template-haskell>=2.8 && <2.9) If I now relax the constraint for Template Haskell I get a compiler error as there has been a breaking change from Template Haskell 2.9 to 2.10. > Data/Yarr/Utils/FixedVector/VecTuple.hs:45:16: > Couldn't match expected type ‘TypeQ -> Q Dec’ > with actual type ‘Q Dec’ > The function ‘tySynInstD’ is applied to three arguments, > but its type ‘Name -> TySynEqnQ -> DecQ’ has only two And indeed looking at the changes in http://git.haskell.org/packages/template-haskell.git/commitdiff/ccd7891c536… I can see that the function in question has changed. > -tySynInstD :: Name -> [TypeQ] -> TypeQ -> DecQ > -tySynInstD tc tys rhs = > +tySynInstD :: Name -> [TySynEqnQ] -> DecQ > +tySynInstD tc eqns = Did I miss some announcement of this breaking change and the advice on what to do about it? If I did can someone please point me at the relevant document. If not then I feel sad and would be very grateful if someone could help me as I know very little about Template Haskell. Many thanks Dominic Steinitz dominic(a)steinitz.org http://idontgetoutmuch.wordpress.com

ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.8.4
by Austin Seipp 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

============================================================== The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.8.4 ============================================================== The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC, 7.8.4. This is an important bugfix release relative to 7.8.3 (with over 30 defects fixed), so we highly recommend upgrading from the previous 7.8 releases. The full release notes are here: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-8-… How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/ We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place. Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~~~~~~~~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below). On-line GHC-related resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web: GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC developers' home page http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/ Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CodeOwners Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty. The Building Guide describes how to go about porting to a new platform: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building Developers ~~~~~~~~~~ We welcome new contributors. Instructions on accessing our source code repository, and getting started with hacking on GHC, are available from the GHC's developer's site run by Trac: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Mailing lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We run mailing lists for GHC users and bug reports; to subscribe, use the web interfaces at http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs There are several other haskell and ghc-related mailing lists on www.haskell.org; for the full list, see http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ Some GHC developers hang out on #haskell on IRC, too: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IRC_channel Please report bugs using our bug tracking system. Instructions on reporting bugs can be found here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug Hashes & Signatures ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/ you will find a signed copy of the SHA256 hashes for the tarballs, using my GPG key (keyid 0x3B58D86F). -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
