[aur-general] What happened to haskell-ghc-paths?
Hi, it appears that the package 'haskell-ghc-paths' has been removed from AUR. Is there a particular reason why that was done? I would have expected the package to be removed because it's been moved to [extra] or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Take care, Peter

haskell-ghc-paths is in [testing]. Seems like someone decided to move it to [extra] and removed it from the AUR a bit too early.
Hi Lukas,
haskell-ghc-paths is in [testing]. Seems like someone decided to move it to [extra] and removed it from the AUR a bit too early.
the current situation is that users cannot install 'haskell-ghc-paths' because of that. Consequently, our users cannot install any of the packages that depend on it either. By now, we've had that situation for several days. Is there something that can be done to improve matters? Take care, Peter
removed it from the AUR Here's your answer. You shall to add it back to the AUR. -- Cheers, -- Kwpolska (http://kwpolska.co.cc) O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
Hi Kwpolska,
Here's your answer. You shall to add it back to the AUR.
unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to: $ aurupload arch-haskell ******** haskell-ghc-paths-0.1.0.8-4.src.tar.gz Logging in... Done, sessionid is AURSID=11D51144AD543F145676077BD02EE316 Uploading file... Error: haskell-ghc-paths is on the package blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos. Anyway, wouldn't it be a better solution to move the package from [testing] to [extra]? Is there a reason why this has been delayed? Can we find out who made that change so that he or she can be contacted for comment on the issue? Take care, Peter

Not an acceptable solution, as per the AUR guidelines: "Check [core], [extra], and [community] for the package. If it is inside any of those repositories in ANY form, DO NOT submit the package." Undoubtedly, someone will want to point out that this package is in testing, and [testing] isn't among the listed repos stated above. Don't make me hit you. It's an unfortunate situation. I only know from speaking with Haskell users that packaging Haskell is a tedious job. But, is it not possible to compile this package yourself from ABS? dave

Submitted it back to the AUR [1] for now. [testing] was added to the AUR blacklist some time ago... For the record: Basically any TU or dev is able to upload backlisted packages to the AUR by design (basically to allow moving packages that are still in the local database of aurblup and to allow submission of false positives).

Hi Dave,

an ABS tree does exist at http://github.com/archhaskell/habs/, which is the basis for a binary repository that's published here: [haskell] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/haskell/$arch Users of that repository won't miss haskell-ghc-paths. Unfortunately, not everyone uses it. ;-) Anyway, I see that Lukas has fixed the problem on AUR. Thanks a lot for your help, guys! Take care, Peter

Stick it in [archhaskell] until it gets moved out of [testing]. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
