Quoting Chris Dornan <[email protected]>:
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a quick response.
Previously I've been able to install and use ghc and HP in ~/ without
problems. Is there any reason
why this couldn't be done with your justhub package?
As I've never tried this brute surgery on such a magnus opus before I'm
not sure this is at all feasible?
I wouldn't recommend trying to install the justhub package in user-space.
Starting from the GHC bindists and the sources for everything else (platform
and hub wrapper) you can relocate everything of course. In theory I believe
it would also be possible to make all the RPMs relocatable, but because of
all of the moving parts it's not so easy in practice.
Sure. Too scary for me. However sandboxing everything ghc in user
space seems to me a good idea at the moment.
It is on my list of things to do -- obviously the more requests I get the
higher it will go on the priority list, and the number of requests has now
just doubled, to two (but I will bet there are more -- I take it seriously).
BTW my ISP doesn't allow the use of yum.
I can build a Snap server by manually installing the needed deps from
HP but it
silently crashes every couple of hours and I failed to build it with
library-profiling.
I'd like to get Snap working on this ISP as it's for a voluntary
environmental science group and previous Snap installations on my home
machine have seemingly worked perfectly.
Cheers
Chris
