Because I just did that yesterday :) I have put examples of files at http://dev.archlinux.org/~remy/arch-haskell/ For example cabal2arch --sysinfo=http://dev.archlinux.org/~remy/arch-haskell/hp2011.0 will produce PKGBUILDs which are forced to use library versions specified in HP2011.0 while cabal2arch --sysinfo=http://dev.archlinux.org/~remy/arch-haskell/default will use the behaviour we had before. -- Rémy. _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
