There was a recent Arch-Haskell thread about dumping most of AUR Haskell packages: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/arch-haskell/2011-November/001744.html

As an end user, I effectively ignore the official Arch Haskell packages as they are so far out of date. I'm also now trying to disregard most of the AUR since I came across that thread. Haskell is starting to feel fragile on Arch.

What about moving *all* Haskell related packages to the Haskell Arch repo? All the Haskell Platform stuff, alex, happy, etc.

Haskell platform was released with the latest stable GHC (7.0.4 of course).

Guys, what's happening with haskell support in Arch?

Xmonad, and now GHC and lots of packages in the supported repos are not keeping update with upstream.

i vote for dropping xmonad and all packages to aur and let the community handle them.

it seems we are not doing a great job at keeping them up to date.

-- Ionuț Hi,

What are the real troubling haskell packages? Only GHC, haskell-platform and XMonad?

I'll speak with Vesa about XMonad, i might be able to adopt it.

Btw adopted xmonad,xmonad-contrib, these packages will be updated today. -- Jelle van der Waa
