Is it too late to use the "new" [staging] repository instead of [testing] for this ? It was aimed at large rebuilds, and it looks it is the case here. Many incompatibilities are expected: if GHC7 is supposed to enter the main repositories in 2011, [testing] may be too early. For example, the current version of mtl cannot be built with GHC7, but mtl-1.1.1.0 is compatible. I see that HP2011 may set mtl2 to be the standard, so we have the choice of either: * follow haskell-platform ML and choose to build the proposed contents of HP2011 in a test repo * keep HP2010 versions of the libraries unless they are incompatible with GHC7, and then do the minimal upgrade so that most packages remain compatible. -- Rémy. _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
