[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: Win32-services
I uploaded a new packaged named Win32-services. This library is a partial binding to the Win32 System Services API. It's now easier to write Windows service applications in Haskell. The hackage page http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services [1] demonstrates simple usage. There are also 2 examples included with the sources. One is a translation of Microsoft's official example.

[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: Win32-junction-point-0.0.1
I'm pleased to announce the initial release of Win32-junction-point * hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-junction-point * git repository: https://github.com/mikesteele81/Win32-junction-point This package provides the ability to manipulate NTFS junction points as supported by Windows 2000 and above. Junction points, along with NTFS hard links and NTFS symbolic links, are a type of symbolic link that can be made between folders existing on the same filesystem. Please read Microsoft KB205524 [1] for more information on junction points. Junction points have always been left undocumented in the Win32 SDK. The Windows 2000 Resource Kit came with a command-line utility named linkd.exe to work with them. Later, Mark Russinovich of SysInternals distributed a replacement utility named Junction [2] which accomplished the same thing. This source code is based on an article [3] and C++ library [4] written by Mike Nordell at codeproject.com. It is against Microsoft's recommendation to make use of undocumented API features. Use this library at your own risk.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] YesodAuth documentation
Does exist some simple examples using yesod authentication except code of Haskellers site? Does exist some examples using YesodAuthEmail? Another example is Orangeroster [1]. For example, can i use third-party mail server instead of Sendmail for YesodAuthEmail? No. Email handling is done through the mime-mail package, which uses sendmail to do it's work. Can i disable registration confirmation? Does passwords stored in a database in an unencrypted form? The stock email plugin does not let you disable these features, but it should be easy to write your own.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] YesodAuth documentation
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The Yesod scaffolding tool generates a site that uses mime-mail and sendmail, but there's nothing inherent in yesod-auth requiring either. My apologies for adding to the confusion. I see now that Yesod.Auth.Email handles database interactions, generates verify URLs for new accounts to use, and provides forms to embed in HTML. It doesn't actually create email messages or handle any kind of email delivery. I saw the mime-mail dependency, and then forgot where I had seen Network.Mail.Mime.renderSendMail actually being called. The stock email plugin does not let you disable these features, but it should be easy to write your own. You could just copy the email module from yesod-auth and make the modifications there. Or even better if you're so inclined: submit a patch to make these features optional. If you are so inclined, feel free to contact me for some guidance. My understanding is that none of the plugins included in yesod-auth are magic in any way. New ones can be created outside of the official package as long as their associated AuthPlugin has a Text value unique among any others being used.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] what is the status of haskell's mail libraries?
Note, that this will not run on Windows, as it gives command /usr/sbin/sendmail It sounds like mime-mail may be getting native support soon, but until then you may try what I've had success with on Windows. Grab a sendmail replacement like the one at http://glob.com.au/sendmail/. It's just a sendmail.exe executable that you can place in your path along with a .ini configuration file to go with it. -- Michael Steele -- -- Michael Steele ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Greetings! 2D Graphics?
I admit author's bias, but I suggest graphics-drawingcombinators. It is a 2D drawing library based on OpenGL with a pure interface (no IO, except to finally render your drawing), and supports all the stuff you want except clipping. It uses the SDL bindings, which I have heard are not easy to install on windows, but go smooth as a baby's bottom on ubuntu. Luke I'll second this. I started using graphics-drawingcombinators about a month ago so I could easily convert SDL Surfaces into 2D sprites within OpenGL. The entire haddock synopsis fits on a single browser page, making it extremely easily to start using and build off of. You might also want to take a look at Conrad Barski's picnic tutorial at http://www.lisperati.com/haskell/, where he does some work with 2D graphics by generating .svg files. -- Michael Steele. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Can't install chp (confused by cabal yet again)
You got the original error because cabal chose to use base-3 when compiling chp, and then identifiers found only in base-4 were referenced. Download the cabal package, and edit chp.cabal so that it depends on base = 4. On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 7:00 AM, Colin Paul Adams co...@colina.demon.co.ukwrote: I tried a cabal install chp: It complained that base was hidden. So I unpacked the archive, and tried installing using runhaskell Setup configure/build/install. Now I get (from install): Setup: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of Cabal being used has changed (was Cabal-1.6.0.3, now Cabal-1.6.0.2). So I repeated the process and get the same message again. ghc version is 6.10.3 Also: cabal --version cabal-install version 0.6.2 using version 1.6.0.2 of the Cabal library Where does this 1-6.0.3 come from (Ghc HEAD perhaps?)?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] instance Monad (Either String) in Prelude or Data.Either?
Right. I know there was some argument a while back, but I thought that position that instances are global period was pretty official. At least it made sense to me. The more libraries you import the less control you have over the extent of what they may import. But I guess it wouldn't be haskell if every third person didn't have an idea for a better way to implement the mtl... I just want an exception with a message though! A few days ago I was trying to refactor some code to use transformers + monads-tf instead of mtl. Eventually I gave up after getting error messages about Either having conflicting Monad instances. A few of the libraries I'm using depend on mtl. if I understand you correctly, all libraries that software I write depends on, directly or indirectly, must be free of namespace conflicts.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Design in Haskell?
Are there any suggestions of wikis, books or particularly well-architected and readable projects I could look at to about learn larger-scale design in Haskell? I've recently found Brent Yorgey's The Typeclassopedia very helpful. You can find it in The Monad.Reader Issue 13. It's similar to Design Patterns in that it lays out all the basic patterns (type classes in this case) and shows how to properly use each one. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
