Do you think that something like that could be used to compile Haskell with Android platform as a target?

Thanks,
Vladimir

It looks great! I’ll try to port uhc to ghc-7.6 today
with help of your package.

Thank you!

I’m still in search of a slightly safer fix to the haskeline problem :-) I’ve fixed the catch problem in HEAD but I guess it’s worth fixing 2.8 as well since I’m not yet sure when 2.10 will happen.

https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/commit/f663de941e89ad3ef5935ecda336497ed1cab808

It’s the largest ans I hope does not break anything (thus can be merged to upstream in some form).

For haskeline-0.7 (shoud be irrelevant to ghc-7.6)
we’ve cheated a bit and assumed user’s locale is UTF-8:

https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/commit/dbd502761c407d99849a2b45dc1d4da44be1cde4

For tar-0.4 the fix is the following:

]]> Comment on Details about the move to Github by Craig http://gentoohaskell.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/details-about-the-move-to-github/#comment-51 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 00:57:24 +0000 http://gentoohaskell.wordpress.com/?p=34#comment-51 I know AGPLv3 doesn’t say anything about hosting services, my comment is more along the lines of consistency and support the Free Software world. Gentoo is all about Free Software, Haskell is Free Software, and the Gentoo packaging of Haskell is Free as well. Therefore, wouldn’t it make sense for this group of Free Software to be hosted on a Free Software system? It certainly doesn’t *have* to be, but wouldn’t it be cool if it was? I love it when Free Software supports Free Software (like Gentoo supporting Haskell by packaging it), and always find it a bit weird when Free Software supports proprietary software (like Gentoo’s Haskell project supporting GitHub), especially when a similarly-capable Free Software option is available (like Gitorious versus GitHub).
Thanks for your awesome work, btw. I don’t mean to be annoying, just hoping to point something out that may not have been considered, and hopefully help out one of my favorite (and IMHO most important) Free Software projects.

Github is just good enough for that: a lot of people know about it and it provides everything we need.

I don’t think service’s source code license is relevant here. AFAIU AGPLv3 does not say anything about terms of service for content stored there.

I never used gitorius, but looking at home page they seem to provide similar service. Anyway, in case something will go wrong with github we’ll consider gitorious as well.
