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As an end user, I effectively ignore the official Arch Haskell packages as they are so far out of date.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. Ethan Schoonover Github/Freenode: altercation - Solarized: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized On Sat, Dec 17, 2011 at 13:44, Ionut Biru <biru.ionut@gmail.com> wrote:

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.
