The lambda revolution, Episode V, the deb strikes back
by Pupeno 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

I wrote a little article building on Don's "The lambda revolution" about making a .deb basing on a chat session with Ian: http://pupeno.com/blog-en/the-lambda-revolution-episode-v-the-deb-strikes-b… There's an excellent article by Don "dons" Stewart called The lambda revolution which explains how to build a Haskell library in way that it is easy to download, compile, install, test, distribute, etc. The next logicall step is to make OS-specific packages of it and since today I've had a short talk with Ian "Iglo" Lynagh, maintainer of many Haskell packages on `Debian`_, who dissipated all my doubts about how to build a deb package of a Haskell library. Armed with that knowledge I am going to turn Don's dlist into a beautiful deb package for Debian, Kubuntu or any other deb based operating system and tell you how. I thought you might be interested on it. -- Pupeno <pupeno(a)pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com)

Packaging a Haskell library
by Pupeno 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hello, I am trying to package some Haskell libraries. I have some general packaging knowledge but I see there are a lot of things done differently on Haskell packages, from dh_haskell to control.in and update-haskell-control. Is there any documentation ? any tool to automate making this packages ? or any tips and tricks you can give me ? Thank you. -- Pupeno <pupeno(a)pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com)

Idea for rules
by Pupeno 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hello, Wouldn't it be nice if the rules file was smart enough to find Setup.hs if it exist, otherwise try Setup.lhs ? So we could copy rules without any need of customization ? I am not sure of the best way to do it and I bet someone here is more capable than me of doing it, but if none does it, I'll give it a try in some days. Thank you. -- Pupeno <pupeno(a)pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com)

Where to put Cabal {un,}register.sh files?
by Kari Pahula 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

What would be a good place to install cabal-generated register.sh and unregister.sh files? /usr/share/$PACKAGE/ would seem like a safe choice, but it seems kind of wasteful. Would using /usr/share/ghc-6.6/cabal/$PACKAGE/ sound like a good dir to use? Would that path conflict with anything? Any comments?

Bug#402078: ITP: haskell-anydbm -- Generic DBM-type interface for Haskell
by John Goerzen 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: John Goerzen <jgoerzen(a)complete.org> * Package name : haskell-anydbm Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : John Goerzen <jgoerzen(a)complete.org> * URL : http://software.complete.org/anydbm (coming soon) * License : LGPL Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Generic DBM-type interface for Haskell This module provides a generic infrastructure for supporting storage of hash-like items with String-to-String mappings. It can be used for in-memory or on-disk storage. . Two simple backend drivers are included with this package: one that is RAM-only, and one that is persistent and disk-backed. The hdbc-anydbm package provides another driver, which lets you use simple tables in any SQL database to provide a DBM-like interface. MissingPy also provides a Python driver which lets you use any Python anydbm driver under Haskell AnyDBM. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)

Bug#402080: ITP: haskell-configfile -- Parser and writer for handling sectioned config files in Haskell
by John Goerzen 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: John Goerzen <jgoerzen(a)complete.org> * Package name : haskell-configfile Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : John Goerzen <jgoerzen(a)complete.org> * URL : http://software.complete.org/configfile (coming soon) * License : LGPL Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Parser and writer for handling sectioned config files in Haskell The ConfigFile module works with configuration files in a standard format that is easy for the user to edit, easy for the programmer to work with, yet remains powerful and flexible. It is inspired by, and compatible with, Python's ConfigParser module. It uses files that resemble Windows .INI-style files, but with numerous improvements. . ConfigFile provides simple calls to both read and write config files. It's possible to make a config file parsable by this module, the Unix shell, and make. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
