Arch Linux does not comply to the Haskell Platform. That fact communicates
to users of the distribution: "We, the maintainers, don't believe that HP is
relevant." Clearly, this undermines the Hask

Not exactly. ArchHaskell try to keep an ArchLinux repository of

I fail to see how a fringe bleeding edge linux distro undermines a haskell
platform.
Arch is bleeding edge. Haskell Platform is not. It is logical for a
bleeding edge distro to include latest packages.
If you want a good support, use distros that provide such support and
stability. Last i chec
Hi Timothy,
the Haskell community is not the right audience to be addressing these
complaints to. Instead, you should be talking to the ArchLinux developers,
who are responsible for packaging Haskell-related software in the [core]
and [extra] repositories. I am no expert in these matters, but my g
dvanced user I don't really have any trouble working around the issue.
But I'd like Arch to be inviting to newbies and to have what most of us more
experienced users implement manually by default.

I think you will find that the Original Poster did not ask about ArchHaskell,
but rather about Haskell on the Arch platform. He was completely unaware of
ArchHaskell as a project. This might be a source of some confusion, and help
to explain divergent attitudes.

Please stay on topic, this is *not* a discussion about Haskell
Platform[1], it's a discussion on ArchHaskell[2]. Please read up on
the mailing list archives first, and then, if you still feel there's a
need to discuss HP in ArchHaskell (which isn't the same thing as Arch
itself) then please start
If all you want is the Haskell Platform, I believe the Arch policy is to
provide all those packages in the official [extra] repository.
(If those are broken because of the new ghc, just use IgnorePkg to avoid
the ghc update.)
The [haskell] and other ArchHaskell repos are for the rest of Hackage

In his defense, from the perspective of a more or less newbie in the
subject matter, I had quite a bit of trouble using Haskell under Arch.
Not that it is so much better in other systems, I wouldn't know.
I often was in the position to decide whether to use cabal-install,
arch-haskell repositories
Hello Timothy,
Now I'm going to run the risk of upsetting you quite a bit by being
completely blunt.
You come across in your mail like someone who has thought through your
own situation, but fail to see the larger picture. You do know *your*
Haskell needs, and you know what *you* would want from
I believe your main question (how do I do my work without wasting time) has
already been answered: use IgnorePkg.
I would like to add, in case you missed it, that there is a mailing list
and community specifically for Haskell on Arch.
Here is the webpage: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchH

What packages aren't working for you on 7.6? I find that they get updated
pretty quickly, and if you run into any that aren't, feel free to send the
authors a pull request. Almost everything
Hello,
Who is in charge of the ghc and haskell packages on Arch linux? The current
system isn't working.
Arch linux tends to update packages very quickly.
For ghc, always having the latest ghc isn't a good thing. At least if you
actually want to get some work done. A majority of the time the
