| − | When GHC 6.12 comes out, several things will have to change in the Arch binary repositories, and in most Haskell PKGBUILDs. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The following are required to be dealt with. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Smaller core set == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Arch supports [http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal the Haskell Platform spec] in binary form. GHC 6.12 comes with [[Libraries_released_with_GHC|a smaller set of libraries built in]] than 6.10.4 did, so for those that are no longer shipped with ghc, we need to create binary packages in [extra]. That is, for (those in italics are already moved): |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16011 haskell-xhtml] |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-regex-base/ haskell-regex-base]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-regex-compat/ haskell-regex-compat]'' |

||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-mtl/ haskell-mtl]'' |
||
| − | * haskell-integer ?? (is this a real package?) |

| − | * [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19759 haskell-hunit] |
||
| − | * [http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-html/ haskell-html] |
||
| − | * [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20668 haskell-haskell-src] |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Update "provides" list for GHC == |
||
| − | |||
| − | With these new libraries removed from the default set, two things must be updated: |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The GHC package 'provides' list. It provides all the things [http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_released_with_GHC listed here] |
||
| − | * The cabal2arch provides list to match. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Update cabal2arch == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once cabal2arch has the new provides list, then new PKGBUILDs need to be generated with those new dependencies listed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == General breakages == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Other packages may in general be broken by GHC changes (not Arch-specific things). Those are updated as notcied. |
