<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div style>This is my first post here. I am somewhat new to Arch, Haskell, and mailing lists in general so if this isn't the appropriate place to post, please let me know. I've done plenty of Google searches prior to posting here and all research has come up dry.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I have been trying for a few days to install the Snap web framework via pacman (cabal seems to be a sub-optimal route to take due to a lack of synergy with pacman). Following all steps from the Arch Wiki and GitHub, I've configured my /etc/pacman.conf file to include the [haskell-web] repository. However, upon doing "pacman -S haskell-snap", I get a flood of messages in the form of "warning: cannot resolve <x>, a dependency of <y>". A couple of these messages stood out to me because of the GHC version it appeared to list, e.g. "warning: cannot resolve "ghc=7.6.2-1", a dependency of "haskell-zlib-enum"".</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Now, I recall before trying to install haskell-snap doing a "pacman -Syu" to bring the system up to date. Included in this update was a GHC update to 7.6.3. My best assumption at this point is that the standard [haskell-core] repository was fully updated with this version upgrade, but [haskell-web] was not since it appears that [haskell-web] is independently maintained by a volunteer. Thus, it's simply a matter of the packages maintained in [haskell-web] must be recompiled with the new version of GHC and other dependencies in [haskell-core].</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Are my assumptions correct? If so, is [haskell-web] still being maintained thus a matter of "relax and be patient"? Or am I better off going the cabal install route? Perhaps investigate rolling back to an older version of GHC? Forgive me if this is all elementary and common knowledge as I am unfamiliar with "standard procedure" for Haskell in the Arch Linux environment. Thank you for your time.</div>
