Since I had the patches on my local repository, I pushed them upstream. For the moment, it still uses files, because I also think cabal2arch should remain usable without an internet connection, and have reproducibility properties. However, it's only a matter of seconds to make it use http://andromeda.kiwilight.com/~remy.oudompheng/arch-haskell/default/ instead. -- Rémy. _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
