ANN: New version of graphmod (1.2.4)
by Iavor Diatchki 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hello, I am pleased to announce a new version of `graphmod`---a program that helps you visualize the import dependencies between the modules in your Haskell programs. The new feature in version 1.2.4 is support for pruning the dependency graph, which is enabled with the flag -p or --prune-edges. When this option is selected, `graphmod` will ignore imports to modules that are already imported by some of the dependencies of the module. For example, consider the following modules: module A where { import B; import C } module B where { import C } module C where { } When generated with `--prune-edges`, the resulting graph will be: A -> B -> C Note that there is no edge from `A` to `C`, because `C` is already imported by `B`. Happy hacking, -Iavor

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Pretty Printing Libraries with an Emphasis on Consistency
by Oliver Charles 14 Oct '14

Yes, hindent is exponential in its pretty printing and that's exactly the program I'm trying to speed up ;) To be specific, hindent has `sandbox` which runs a printer and then lets me make decisions on what the resulting state might be. I'm curious if there are other approaches. - ocharles On Sat, Oct 11, 2014 at 12:01 PM, Alan & Kim Zimmerman <alan.zimm(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Have you looked at hindent? > On 11 Oct 2014 11:52 AM, "Oliver Charles" <ollie(a)ocharles.org.uk> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> It seems that all of the pretty printing libraries on Hackage at the >> moment have an emphasis on being compact, but not necessarily consistent. >> By consistent, I mean that similar blocks of code are indented in the same >> fashion, even when not strictly necessary. >> >> Take for example, the start of "Pretty Printing with Lazy Dequeues". >> Here, the example is: >> >> if True >> then if True then True else True >> else >> if False >> then False >> else False >> >> I call this inconsistent, because the two sides of the top-level if have >> been formatted under different rules.

Dependencies missing when building ghc.
by Magicloud Magiclouds 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi, I am with my new Ubuntu Trusty box. I have installed ghc by apt-get. Then I wanted to build ghc from git to upgrade to 7.8.3. I did following commands. I tried 'make clean', or reget the source. No luck yet. $ git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git $ ./sync-all -r git://git.haskell.org remote set-url origin $ git checkout ghc-7.8.3-release $ ./sync-all get $ rm -r libraries/time # as prompted by sync-all $ ./sync-all get $ ./boot $ ./configure $ make ===--- building phase 0 make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 phase_0_builds make[1]: Nothing to be done for `phase_0_builds'. ===--- building phase 1 make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" check libraries/haskell98 "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure libraries/haskell98 dist-install "" --with-ghc="/home/local/ANT/shida/src/git/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" --with-ghc-pkg="/home/local/ANT/shida/src/git/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg" --disable-library-for-ghci --enable-library-vanilla --enable-library-profiling --enable-shared --configure-option=CFLAGS=" -fno-stack-protector " --configure-option=LDFLAGS=" " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS=" " --gcc-options=" -fno-stack-protector " --with-gcc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ld="/usr/bin/ld" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ar="/usr/bin/ar" --with-ranlib="/usr/bin/ranlib" --with-alex="/usr/bin/alex" --with-happy="/usr/bin/happy" Configuring haskell98-2.0.0.4... ghc-cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: base ==4.8.* make[1]: *** [libraries/haskell98/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 -- 竹密岂妨流水过山高哪阻野云飞 And for G+, please use magiclouds#gmail.com.

documentation build failing in hackage?
by Alberto G. Corona 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Sorry if this has been asked/discussed previously It seems that there are many packages in which the documentation is not generated. That is the visible effect since there is no indication if the build process failed or not. Could anyone give me some hints? I did a lazy look at the hackage2 documentation but I found nothing about that. Only that it is possible to upload the documentation if the build bot fails... -- Alberto.

cabal sandbox using absolute path on symlinked dir
by Vlatko Basic 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hello Cafe, On Ubuntu, after creating a sandboxed project in a symlinked directory, cabal.sandbox.config contains absolute (canonical) paths of the directory, and not the symlinked paths. Is this a bug, and is there a way to correct that behavior? There is no way to move the project to a different place without recreating the whole sandbox. Best regards, vlatko

Library for URL/URI?
by Yuras Shumovich 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hello, Probably a silly question... But do we have good library for URL manipulations? I spent 2 days looking for library, that - has permissive license - doesn't use `String` everywhere - handles query part parsing/rendering - has minimal dependencies (Probably URL lib should not depend on anything outside Haskell Platform.) The best thing I found so far is https://github.com/Soostone/uri-bytestring It has few unnecessary dependencies (like http-types or errors,) but I can fork it and fix for my needs. Unfortunately it has unclear license -- BSD3 according to cabal file, but GPL-3 in source header. Are there better libs I missed? What are you using for URLs? Thanks, Yuras
