Thanks, must have missed that somehow.

2.3.1 is out

Comment by: leffe on Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:09:53 +0000

I don't mind maintaining this ;) On the other hand, perhaps it's ready for community?

Alex 2.3:
* monadUserState wrapper (Alain Cremieux)
* Efficient lexing of strict ByteStrings (Don Stewart)
* Works with Cabal 1.2, 1.4 & 1.6

PKGBUILD:
Simplified it a bit.

Hey leffe, if you want to orphan this, and have arch-haskell take it up, I'm ready with a package.

Thanks; the old package didn't build with 6.6, and I discovered that there was a new version.

Release Notes for version 2.2:
* Cabal 1.2 is now required.
* ByteString wrappers: use Alex to lex ByteStrings directly.

I've found that the generated package alex-2.1.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz contains only the licence:

Update PKGBUILD with the changes suggested by Gour.

Comment by: gour on Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:14:47 +0000

Hi!

Pls. add 'x86_64' to arch and add deps for ghc>=6.6 which includes required Cabal.

Sincerely,
Gour

\"Release Notes for version 2.1.0:
* Switch to a Cabal build system: you need a recent version of Cabal (1.1.6 or later). If you have GHC 6.4.2, then you need to upgrade Cabal before building Alex. GHC 6.6 is fine.
* Slight change in the error semantics: the input returned on error is before the erroneous character was read, not after. This helps to give better error messages.\"
