Another entry in the debate on ghc 7.4.1 :) I've put up a repo containing ghc 7.4.1, darcs-beta (stable darcs doesn't build out of the box) and xmonad. [ghc74] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/~magnus/$repo Only built for x86_64 (since it's the future ;). Let me know if anyone's interested in

Hello, I'd like to have it for 32 bits as well, as I do not have a 64 bits OS. My computer is slow, do you think it is doable to compile it on my machine with your script as you suggested? Never done that before, but I'd be glad to help. I don't know what are the requirements, how long it takes,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I see I miss some common knowledge about how ArchLinux and ArchHaskell work. This experience will fix this. I read yesterday the documentation for cblrepo; it is nice to have such a detailed README. I didn't know HABS. I try it tonight if I find some time;
