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 the Haskell Platform spec in binary form. GHC 6.12 comes with 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):
- haskell-xhtml
- haskell-regex-base
- haskell-regex-compat
- haskell-regex-posix
- haskell-quickcheck
- haskell-parsec
- haskell-parallel
- haskell-packedstring
- haskell-network
- haskell-mtl
- haskell-integer ?? (is this a real package?)
- haskell-hunit
- haskell-html
- 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 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.
