| − | 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://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/haskell-xhtml/ 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-regex-posix/ haskell-regex-posix]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-quickcheck/ haskell-quickcheck]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-parsec/ haskell-parsec]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-parallel/ haskell-parallel]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-packedstring/ haskell-packedstring] |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-network/ haskell-network]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-mtl/ haskell-mtl]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-hunit/ haskell-hunit]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-html/ haskell-html]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-haskell-src/ haskell-haskell-src]'' |
||
| − | * ''[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-stm/ haskell-stm]'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Additional [extra] packages == |
||
| − | |||
| − | * haskell-deepseq |
||
| − | * haskell-extensible-exceptions |
||
| − | * haskell-terminfo |
||
| − | * haskell-dataenc |
||
| − | * haskell-hashed-storage |
||
| − | * haskell-mmap |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Update "provides" list for GHC == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Done. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * 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. |
||
| − | |||
| − | cabal2arch '''assumes your pkgbuild tool can handle "provides"'''.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Update cabal2arch == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once cabal2arch has the new provides list, then new PKGBUILDs need to be generated with those new dependencies listed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == The ./gen-index script == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Done: |
||
| − | ''The haddock index generation script used in all install hooks for Haskell libraries is in a different place for 6.12. We need to update the GHC package to fix this.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == General breakages == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Other packages may in general be broken by GHC changes (not Arch-specific things). Those are updated as noticed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == yaourt is obsolete! == |
||
| − | |||
| − | And the big final thing, yaourt is obsolete. Tools that don't support 'provides' won't work. |
