My quest is to install lambdabot (for the sake of offline `@hoogle' and `@pl' commands), and the one depends on `plugins'.

2) it doesn't build with Cabal-1.3.2 ------------------------------------

Please start with the hs-plugins repo on code.haskell.org, since it's already updated for ghc 6.8,
Hi, I managed to install hs-plugins with ghc-6.9.20080104 (see attached .dpatch). Now I have two lambdabots to choose from. 1) Lambdabot from hackage: [http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/lambdabot-4.0] $ sed -n -e 7,8p -e 12,13p /home/vvv/src/lambdabot-4.0/lambdabot.cabal Name: lambdabot Version: 4.0 Maintainer: dons@cse.unsw.edu.au Build-Depends: base, unix, network, parsec, mtl, haskell-src, haskell98, readline, plugins>=1.0, fps>=0.7 2) Lambdabot from darcs [http://code.haskell.org/lambdabot]: $ sed -n -e 7,8p -e 12,15p /home/vvv/hsources/lambdabot/lambdabot.cabal Name: lambdabot Version: 4.0 Maintainer: dons@cse.unsw.edu.au Build-Depends: base, unix, network, parsec, mtl, haskell-src, readline, QuickCheck, arrows, regex-compat, regex-posix, zlib, binary>=0.2, plugins>=1.0, oeis Though the first one has fewer dependencies, it seems to be obsolete[1]. I'm going to install the one from darcs... 1. `fps' is the old name of `bytestring', am I right? [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/fps.html] Don, it looks wrong to have several lambdabot.cabal files with different dependencies sharing the same version number. And the one at HackageDB has [possibly] obsolete `fps' dependency. Thanks. -- vvv
