Yes, that's a concern with Arch Linux too. We had to regress some things. We currently don't use a true meta package (i.e. we run the Setup.hs for the actual platform .cabal file, which does additional sanity checking). The need to regress things is a bit awkward: likely that'll go away in 2009.2.1 (where we bump things if the API is compat.) > > Secondly, the generic unix installer has a bug report against it on > > Debian only: > > > > http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/32 > > > > Relating to editline not being found. > > > > Can someone elaborate/close the ticket? > > I think somebody just tried to build it without installing editline.
