Hello, Since pacman's dependency specification is much less powerful than in Cabal, cabal2arch may output wrong version constraints while trying to approximate the true specified dependencies. I prefer this to dropping all version requirements when they cannot be expressed in the pacman's way.
In order to get improved PKGBUILDs I thought we could have a better usage of the dependency resolution capabilities in the Cabal library, this is summed up in this commit http://github.com/remyoudompheng/archhaskell/commit/2e614b2 This adds an extra file, platform-provides.txt, that lists our preferred versions for various packages. For the moment I have filled it with the contents of Haskell Platform. Regards, -- Rémy. _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
