AFAICT they do an automated conversion from the cabal files and maintain a set of patches for adding external dependencies, etc. https://github.com/archhaskell

Would they want to provide packages > officially instead? I wouldn't actually be opposed to this idea. A lot of effort is duplicated with regards to Archlinux's official haskell packages and Arch-Haskell's packages. We could try to work out something between the existing haskell package maintainers and arch-haskell maintainers. It might lead to a possibly better overall haskell experience on archlinux. Arch-haskell could maintain official haskell packages using pacman. I (and anyone interested) could support haskell package installation using the cabal-install route.

[aur-general] Deletion of aur package 'shell'
by Ricardo Band 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Ahoi, I've added the package shell[1] to the AUR some time ago. Now I found out that the idea behind this little python script can be achived with normal ssh tools. I don't think the package is useful for anyone so it can safely be deleted. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/shell/ -- Greetings
