Hi there. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The Haskell team has created a new eclass. It makes building Haskell |
| 4 |
packages that conform to the Cabal [1] architecture (an effort that |
| 5 |
aims at easing packaging and distribution of both Haskell libraries |
| 6 |
and tools) nearly trivial. I wish to use the opportunity to thank |
| 7 |
Lennart Kolmodin and Henning Günther, who aren't Gentoo developers, |
| 8 |
but have had significant part in the design and development of the |
| 9 |
eclass. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The eclass has been developed and tested in the inofficial |
| 12 |
gentoo-haskell darcs [2] overlay [3], where the code is available for |
| 13 |
inspection [4]. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
We plan to include the eclass in the main portage tree later |
| 16 |
this week. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The overlay currently also contains ~10 packages using the |
| 19 |
eclass. These will be added to the tree shortly after the inclusion of |
| 20 |
the eclass. More packages using the eclass are likely to follow. |
| 21 |
|

Cheers, |
| 23 |
