Hi Dominic,
I've been experimenting today with creating a rough debian/ directory for creating a package of crypto version 2.0.3. I'm not sure if you have experience with debian. I basically copied the NewBinary debian/ directory and looked as well at the http library's debian directory and read some of the Debian manuals. A strange problem arises when trying to build the examples where the Crypto library hasn't actually been installed yet so when it starts to build BERTest it throws an error:
./Codec/Utils.hs:1:0: Module `Codec.Utils' is a member of package Crypto-2.0.3. To compile this module, please use -ignore-package Crypto-2.0.3. ./setup build files: 256 at /usr/bin/dh_haskell_buildinst line 167,
line 1. make: *** [install] Error 1 Any ideas or suggestions? Should I just remove the test binaries from this cabal file or should I contact the maintainer for dh_haskell and ask him to look into a solution for the issue.
I'm still a newbie to haskell so forgive me if this is trivial.
peace, core Charles,
The message is saying you already have Crypto-2.0.3 installed and the compiler has found something of the same name on its search path. I don't know what dh_haskell is. Is it something to do with Cabal? I get this message when I am playing around in the source tree so I use -ignore-package so that everything gets picked from my current sources rather than using the installed package. I know nothing about debian (although I am planning to move to it if I ever get the time). I'd suggest using ghc-pkg to see what's installed (as far as ghc is concerned) and then use one of the options to remove Crypto and try building again. Dom.
Charles, You probably don't need to build BERTest for installation in the Debian package. You may want to build it for execution at build time, to assert that the code works. You may want to install the source as an example if it's useful as an example. It is presently fairly difficult to compile a library and code that uses it from the same source tree, unless they all use the same .cabal file. See haskell-hsql and missingh for examples. When you're building for Hugs, this is considerably easier, since you can just pass appropriate args to it. -- John On Sat, Feb 04, 2006 at 08:58:16AM +0000, Dominic Steinitz wrote:

Sort of... it's a Debian helper tool which checks for the existence of a Cabal file in order to automate a large portion of creating a Debian Haskell package. So... but no worries it's not important here.

Ahhh... now this is what I needed. Thanks so much! :-) ghc-pkg reveals that during my initial build and install with --user (which I FORGOT about ;-) that it was indeed finding the package. This answers my question: /home/core/.ghc/i386-linux-6.4/package.conf: Crypto-2.0.3 Thanks for the help and I hope you find time to explore the world of Debian or one of its derivatives sometime. What's the best way to go about submitting a patch for the initial hack at a debian/ directory for inclusion in the darcs repository? It still needs some work but will be a great way to make this more accessible to Debian and Ubuntu users. The Http and NewBinary packages already have the appropriate scripts so this seems like the right thing to do. Thanks again for all the help and creating a thorough Cabal file. peace, core
