Hello all,
Is there any plan to make a package for archlinux x86_64 with (more or less) complete GHC 6.8.3 binaries? I know I can download and install myself, usually I do so myself, but the reason is to prepare a list of packages for others. So far, the 6.8.2 is available.
Is there any possibility I could help with it? Some guidelines, how to prepare such a package, submit to a right place, etc.
We can certainly host a ghc 6.8.3 package -- these are easy to produce. However, since it's identical to 6.8.2, functionality-wise, we're not upgrading officially yet. If you're interested in Arch/Haskell, I'd also recommend hanging out in the #arch-haskell IRC channel on freenode, where most design decisions get discussed. Finally, I'd like to mention we now have 489 Haskell packages natively bundled for Arch. :) Kick butt! http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=arch-haskell&SB=v&SO=d&PP=25&SeB=m&do_Orphans= -- Don
