darcs is currently in [community] and it has to be automatically compilable, using packages available in [core]/[extra]/[community]. So, if darcs is to remain in [commmunity] then a move to 7.4.1 *has* to be concerned with it and all its dependencies. >> What other Haskell binaries do we have in [extra]& [community]? >> >> ~~~ >> $ cblrepo-7.4.1 add -n darcs,2.5.2 array,0.3.0.3 filepath,1.2.0.1 >> hashed-storage,0.5.9 dataenc,0.14.0.3 mmap,0.5.7 mtl,2.0.1.0 zlib,0.5.3.2 >> transformers,0.2.2.0 text,0.11.1.13 tar,0.3.2.0 process,1.0.1.5 >> random,1.0.1.1 regex-compat,0.93.1 regex-base,0.93.2 regex-posix,0.95.1 >> parsec,3.1.2 old-time,1.0.0.7 html,1.0.1.2 haskeline,0.6.4.6 >> utf8-string,0.3.7 xmonad-contrib,0.10 xmonad,0.10 X11,1.5.0.1 syb,0.3.6 >> Failed to satisfy the following dependencies for darcs: >> unix>=1.0&& <2.5&& >=1.0&& <2.5 >> ~~~ > > > It does not seem we have hasked-storage in extra/community. > > It seems like you are missing some packages from extra/community.

I got the list by scanning the output of > pacman -Ss haskell |grep -E 'community/|extra/' I deliberately skipped all the "free" libraries, but having your list will make it a bit easier to gauge the impact of a move to 7.4.1, so it's much appreciated. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
