Hi Magnus, So, what are your thoughts. Should I continue hacking on this? there already is a tool that can figure out which versions of a given set of packages are compatible with each other: cabal-install. The code of that utility features an algorithm to compute something that's called

Re: [arch-haskell] State of Affairs: Summarizing 83 days worth of experience

Hi Magnus, To be very blunt, I said your EXPERIENCE is invaluable. In your initial email you didn't recount that experience in a way that clearly pointed out what wasn't working. That means your initial email wasn't invaluable, because there was nothing in it that I could act on. yes,

Re: [arch-haskell] State of Affairs: Summarizing 83 days worth of experience

Hi Magnus, I have the impression that you are avoiding the substance of my original article in this thread. I posted that very long and very detailed message, because I believe that it's vital to understand the problems we have to solve before we try to solve them. I would love to hear your

[arch-haskell] State of Affairs: Summarizing 83 days worth of experience

Hi guys, it's been 83 days since I've begun to actively contribute to the ArchHaskell project. During that period, I've maintained our habs tree. I've seen to it that AUR is in sync with that tree. I've made an effort to compile a repository of binary packages, and I've also addressed all kinds

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: storable-endian

Hi guys, You could use ADNS.Endian.endian from package hsdns in your Setup.hs to define endianness at compile time. Cool, it's already there! However I would not recommend to let a low-level library depend on a higher-level one. I think it would be cleaner to move the ADNS.Endian

Re: [Haskell-cafe] GHC 7.0.1 developer challenges

Hi John, I think the previous responder was asserting the 32M limit, not you. I believe the previous poster suggested that you use ulimit to provide a hard upper bound for run-time memory use. That 32M figure seemed to be made up out of thin air just as an example to illustrate the syntax of

Hi Mathieu, Why don't you use ulimit for this job? $ ulimit -m 32M; ./cpsa yes, I was thinking the same thing. Relying exclusively on GHC's ability to limit run-time memory consumption feels like an odd choice for this task. It's nice that this feature exists in GHC, but it's inherently

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: hledger 0.13

Hi Simon, [Are you] avoiding use of cabal-install and hackage entirely? yes, I'm trying to provide a package for hledger 0.13 that can be installed using ArchLinux's native package manager. The current version is available here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20762. How did

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: hledger 0.13

Hi Simon, thank you very much for your efforts. I wonder whether there is any particular reason why hledger won't build with process-1.0.1.3? Take care, Peter ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org

[arch-haskell] Please update haskell-text in [extra]

Hi, can someone with access to [extra] please update haskell-text to version 0.10.0.0? The old version is blocking other updates, such as haskell-yesod, etc. Take care, Peter ___ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org
