Thanks for the detailed explanation. I see I miss some common knowledge
about how ArchLinux and ArchHaskell work. This experience will fix this.
I read yesterday the documentation for cblrepo; it is nice to have such
a detailed README. I didn't know HABS.
I try it tonight if I find some time; after all I'm later than Debian
:)

It is certainly doable, though it may take a bit of time.
First you need a development version of `cblrepo`, check out commit
4364ed0ab546fafbff59163d59c6bf94d8298dd4 on the branch called
`devo/ghc74` [1]. That version of `cblrepo` is compilable using
the
packages currently in [haskell], but it generates PKGBUILDs usable
with GHC 7.4.1.
Check out the sources I used for [ghc74]
$ git clone git clone
http://www.kiwilight.com/~magnus/ah-ghc74.git
Now you can use the `makeahpkg` script as usual to first build GHC
itself, then the dev-version of cblrepo to generate the PKGBUILDs,
in
order to finally build the entire [ghc74] repo for yourself.
Let me know if you run into any troubles.

Hello,
Thanks for the explanation. I think I miss some experience building
a repo
for Arch, so here is what I did yesterday.
I cloned the sources you used for [ghc74] with git clone
http://www.kiwilight.com/~magnus/ah-ghc74.git. Then cd ah-ghc74,
then
makeahpkg. It created a fake root directory inside ah-ghc74, called
something with 686 (I don't remember the exact name).
That's a chroot, you should makeahpkg to build everything, including
ghc, to make sure your own system doesn't contaminate the built
packages.
Then I cloned cblrepo: git clone
https://github.com/magthe/cblrepo.git, cd
cblrepo, git checkout -b 4364ed0ab546fafbff59163d59c6bf94d8298dd4,
then
cabal install. Seemed to work.
Went back to ah-ghc74, cd ghc, makepkg -s. It built ghc-7.4.1. I
forgot to
remove the profiling options in my ghc settings, meaning that it
built it
twice :) So I guess I have to do it again tonight, without the
profiling
options. It tokk 4 hours in total.
Now I don't know what is the next step. Is it 'cblrepo add -d
ghc,7.4.1'
then 'cblrepo pkgbuild ghc', or only the latter?
No, what you need to do now is use cblrepo to create the source
packages, then you use makeahpkg to build them.
Start with cleaning up your ah-ghc74 directory (you can use `git
clean` for that) and make sure you have `cblrepo` in your path. Then
the following steps ought to do the job:
$ cd ah-ghc74
$ cblrepo build $(cblrepo list | cut -f1 -d\ ) > ,,build-order
$ cblrepo pkgbuild $(cat ,,build-order)
$ ./makeahpkg -x -- ghc $(cat ,,build-order)
If you have some links on how to do it, I'll be glad to look at it
and learn
how to do it.
There's a README that comes with cblrepo, that's a good place to
start, then there's also a README for HABS (http://is.gd/7b8ICP).
