10 weeks after the Arch Haskell group started, there are now 500 Haskell packages bundled up for Arch.
I've written about how we automated the construction of Arch packages from Haskell Cabal format, via the cabal2arch tool, and a small survey of 10 nice packages from the set, here,

Nice. Maybe AUR should be rewritten in Haskell too. Ha Ha.
Is anyone interested on a similar approach to Python's PyPI? It sounds like a fun project!
The main Haskell package index, Hackage, much like PyPI, has just been rewritten using HAppS (http://happs.org/) -- it'll be going live soon.
Sorry, I miswrote!
I meant "apply something similar to this to Python's PyPI, so Arch gets a bunch of python packages" ;-)
Ah, I see. Well, I wrote a little bit about what makes it feasible. Basically, a clear package dependency spec, that doesn't rely on runtime initialisation. Following the model of the cabal2arch tool might just work. -- Don
