Re: Haskell dependencies for custom cabal builds

Thanks Tim, I’ll check out git-annex as a start. Custom Cabal builds would be a nice feature to add to the haskell-build-system. Would it be sufficient to add some extra argument to the build system? Best, John > On Feb 11, 2019, at 12:19 PM, Timothy Sample wrote: > > Hi John, > > John Soo

Hi Chris, upstream says that compiling rust 1.19.0 works fine for them on i686 with their mrustc master (since they have applied our variable-length integer decoding patch): https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/issues/108 >Hmm... works for me, using gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 2017051

Using GPG Subkeys with git/savannah

Hi Laura, you wanted to know how to use GPG subkeys. You want to use them for virtual machines. I found a very nice, practical explanation from the Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/Subkeys What I haven't found out is how/if you can use multiple subkeys for savannah.gnu.org. Does anyone know

Hi Guix, I am working on packaging GetDP [1] the companion finite element solver of Gmsh. [1] http://getdp.info/ GetDP depends on some part of Gmsh. So I have a working gmsh-minimal-no-x package, turning off FLTK, OpenCascade and non-necessary features. Then the full test suite fails. As expect

Haskell dependencies for custom cabal builds

Hi Guix, I’ve been working on some Haskell packages and got stuck recently and I didn’t know why until I realized the cabal files have `build-type: Custom` (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/termonad-1.1.0.0/termonad.cabal). I always get missing dependencies even though I have the dependencies

New topic: packaging

Hi Guix again! Another topic is about showing how to package. Gábor suggested maybe using my experience about creating a new R package. My idea is to show how to look for a package that is not packaged, package it and the workflow for testing it with git am and send it to the patches list. WDTY?
