ghc6.8, xmonad and haskell-utils
by Joachim Breitner 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Hi Ian, hi list, today, I tried to package the recently released and long awaited xmonad-0.5 release. Unfortunately, xmonad needs the new Cabal version. Because we currently ship cabal with ghc (and not as a package on it’s own), I tried to package it for the ghc package you put on haskell-unsafe. So I compiled it for i386 (.deb can be provided if someone wants it), and then upgraded X11 and mtl to new versions. I had to modify the haskell-utils generated files to the new path of /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.1/gen_contents_index I tried to fix that directly in haskell-utils, but that requires some libs that are now shipped in ghc6 extralibs, which is not packaged by you, so I stopped working in that direction. I’ll try now to make xmonad work with a manual installation of the scripts from haskell-utils, but it would be great so see working ghc6.8 and X11-1.4 package somewhere soon.

OT: ghc 6.8 in Debian?
by Magnus Therning 30 Dec '07

It seems my emails to the Debian Haskell list (CC'd on this email as well) are silently dropped :-( Since I suspect the readers of /that/ list are likely to be on this one as well I thought I'd give this a try. What's happening with GHC 6.8 in Debian? There was an email about a month ago announcing the availability of the core package. Since then it seems very little has happened. What can I do to help, if anything? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with the other bad monads? -- Daveman

Nothing much seems to have happened since the announcement of the availability of the core package. Unfortunately I can't really get by on only the core package :-( Is there any progress on pushing ghc 6.8.x into Sid? What can I do to help out? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?

Progress on 6.8.x in Debian?

There was an announcement a while back on only the core of ghc 6.8 being available at unsafe-haskell. I've noticed that a few packages on hackage has received the 6.8-love (changes to cabal files etc) so I'm getting more and more interested in having 6.8 in Sid :-) What is the current state of getting 6.8 being packaged for Sid, and what can I do to help out? /M
