What about the packages provided by ghc?Guess you could do something similar to get the provides list from pacman, hmm..Thanks though!
GHC only updates once every 4-5 months and provides few packages, so I don't mind handling those manually.
There are some (old, and not often used) scripts in the archhaskell repo[1] that may serve as a starting point for upgrades of ghc. Personally I tend to 1. build the new ghc 2. install and check the packages and versions 3. adjust the PKGBUILD 4. re-build (using the new ghc) (I like the idea of having a package of ghc that's built using the same version of ghc :) /M [1]: https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/tree/master/ghc/helpers -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus A system is composed of components: a component is something you understand. — Professor Howard Aiken
