Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD:
I don't use them, however I think they have very good support for Haskell packaging. For example, Fedora updates the haddock documentation index as pkgs are installed and removed
same on Debian, file:///usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/index.html is one of the most-visited locations in my computer :-)
For Debian, you can check where we deviate from the Haskell Platform on http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/platform.html and http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/hackagevsdebian.html gives you an idea of our coverage of Hackage.
And, something that we are proud of: The dependencies between the Haskell library packages include the ABI hash, so an apt-get upgrade will never break installed Haskell libraries, but only upgrade if all depending packages have been rebuilt.
Are these binary or source packages that you use the ABI hash? Also, how do you manage to update the documentation index on package installation/removal? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
