Hi there, I have also prepared Haskell Platform 2011.4.0.0 binary packages for FreeBSD 8.x (both 32-bit and 64-bit). The URL is as follows:
http://haskell.hu.freebsd.org/platform/2011.4.0.0/ The packages can be easily used by setting the PACKAGESITE variable for the pkg_add(1) command. For example, for FreeBSD/amd64: $ sudo PACKAGESITE=http://haskell.hu.freebsd.org/platform/2011.4.0.0/8-amd64/Latest/ pkg_add -r hs-haskell-platform The sources (i.e. the corresponding ports) can be found at our GitHub repository in the haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 branch: https://github.com/freebsd-haskell/freebsd-haskell/tree/haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 Remarks: - The portshaker(8) tool does not support setting branches for repositories at the moment, though they can be easily added by overwriting the ports in your installed Ports Collection. - They are published this way, because the FreeBSD Ports Collection is now frozen (no sweeping changes allowed, like updating core Haskell packages or GHC) due to the on-going release cycle for FreeBSD 9.0. _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
