Using cdbs and haskell-devscripts to build Haskell libraries
by Kari Pahula 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I wasn't quite happy with either haskell-utils' or haskell-devscripts' style of Haskell library packaging. In my eyes, haskell-utils was just too messy with all those generated files and haskell-devscripts was too monolithic, with a magic dh_haskell call that did all the work. It was a step in the right direction, but I felt that it replicated much of what was done in CDBS and rightly belonged to its domain. Therefore, I chose to reimplement (most of) the wheel. I discarded most of haskell-devscripts and just used dh_haskell_prep and made a CDBS rule file to take care of the rest. Here's my complete debian/rules file, using CDBS: #!/usr/bin/make -f include $(CURDIR)/debian/hlibrary.mk Neat, no? And this should work for any cabalized Haskell library. That's the theory, at least. The rest is mostly controlled by debian/control. This has been successfully tested with haskell-binary (already in unstable) and haskell-hlist. I know some people wouldn't touch CDBS if they can help it...

Re: [Debian-haskell] ghc6.8, xmonad and haskell-utils
by Christopher Lane Hinson 05 Mar '08

> that you tried it and it worked is more likely to get it uploaded sooner In that case, I was able to add to my sources.list: deb-src http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/amd64 . unstable even though I'm using i386 testing/unstable (prefers testing), and use apt-src to build, ghc6, haskell-utils, haskell-mtl, haskell-stream, haskell-arrows. The only issue is that you must remove all libghc6 packages and ghc6 packages before using dpkg to install new ones, to save a lot a headache with the package management system. Old libghc6-things don't seem to be removable once a new ghc6 is installed. Also, I get this error on apt-src build haskell-opengl, which I have no idea about: [34 of 84] Compiling Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL.GL.PixelRectangles.PixelMap ( Graphics/Rendering/OpenGL/GL/PixelRectangles/PixelMap.hs, dist/build/Graphics/Rendering/OpenGL/GL/PixelRectangles/PixelMap.o ) /tmp/ghc7639_0/ghc7639_0.split__65.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ghc7639_0/ghc7639_0.split__65.s:637:0: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.ln.text' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 Let me know what else I could do to help.

There are some packages in NEW that must be approved before most of these can be built. I'm not sure that there is a point to filing bugs on all of these just yet. -- John

Missing modules for ghc6.8? (missingh, configfile...)
by Magnus Therning 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Has anyone made any attempts to compile "the rest" of the modules for ghc6.8( i.e. the things that are missing at unsafe-haskell at the moment)? I'd really like to play with configfile a bit, which depend on missingh, but at the same time I'm enjoying the 6.8 goodness so I'd rather not downgrade... oh, my life is filled with difficulties ;-) /M

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.

Hi all, GHC 6.8.2 plus extralibs (plus a couple more) are now in the amd64 section of Haskell Unsafe: http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/haskell-unsafe.html Please let me know of any successes or problems. Thanks Ian
