The reasons we don't do that sort of splitting are two: 1. The tool that helps with packaging `clbrepo` doesn't support it, and most importantly 2. splitting into -bin and -dev packages, like in Debian/Ubuntu/..., isn't the norm in Arch /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
