Hi Ian, hi list,

today, I tried to package the recently released and long awaited
xmonad-0.5 release. Unfortunately, xmonad needs the new Cabal version.
Because we currently ship cabal with ghc (and not as a package on it’s
own), I tried to package it for the ghc package you put on
haskell-unsafe.

So I compiled it for i386 (.deb can be provided if someone wants it),
and then upgraded X11 and mtl to new versions. I had to modify the
haskell-utils generated files to the new path
of /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.1/gen_contents_index

I tried to fix that directly in haskell-utils, but that requires some
libs that are now shipped in ghc6 extralibs, which is not packaged by
you, so I stopped working in that direction.

I’ll try now to make xmonad work with a manual installation of the
scripts from haskell-utils, but it would be great so see working ghc6.8
and X11-1.4 package somewhere soon.

Greetings and thanks,
Joachim
