Aura 4 has been released. If instead you wish you keep using the Haskell-based v3 series, please install:

@Colin: I was actually thinking about offering an unofficial pacman *binary repository* (of the kind core, community, extra and similar are) and leaving this package as it is. Adding a hint that the binary repo exists on your upstream github repository might be a good idea (I really wish there was a better way to specify this information on the AUR package page). This is rather common and there are quite a few such repositories: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_User_Repositories. It's easy to set up and has architecture handling built-in (you just compile both versions and name them appropriately), so the only remaining problem is hosting it somewhere, but Dropbox seems to be perfectly fine for that. Your idea of offering an additional binary AUR package (which would presumably just download the binary from somewhere) would also work, but it seems messier.

@Valantin: aura is updated once a week. Also, gmp is a dependency, not a makedep. @Denis: I was under the impression that binaries weren't allowed at all in the aur, but it seems that's not the case. I suppose I could offer a binary version. However, I think I'd call it `aura-stable-bin` and only update it once and a while. What do you think? Also, how would I deal with different architectures on user machines?

A binary repo would be very nice. It would make it especially easy for new comers to install a great AUR package manager.

@dkasak how time in a week update Aura? i edit the PKGBUILD and after installation remove ghc and other dependencies. This is my first day in aura using, and i think the possibility to remove if you want the makedependencies (non obligatory) is better, without this possibility i'm now using yaourt. PS I keep the packages and install quickly when i need

I can see how people who don't have ghc installed already (i.e. non-Haskellers) could be a bit intimidated by the install size, but installing and removing ghc each time you upgrade aura is no real solution either. Colin, perhaps it would make sense to think about offering a binary repository for aura?

1.1.1.0 ------- - New option `--devel`. Rebuilds all devel packages installed. - Italian translation added! Thank you Bob Valantin! - Support for `powerpill` added. It will be used if installed, unless the PACMAN variable is specifically set to something different. - Aura can now handle PKGBUILDs that produce multiple .pkg.tar files. - Bug fixes

@maattd: It occurs to me that that error is a Haskell build error. Do you have a unique ghc setup? Try the command `ghc-pkg list`. If you don't see `curl` in there, it means Haskell doesn't think you have it, even if you have the AUR package haskell-curl installed.

maattd commented on 2013-01-08 22:15 (UTC)

I have haskell-curl and curl installed. ~ % curl curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

fosskers commented on 2013-01-08 21:51 (UTC)

Curl is a dependency of haskell-curl. Did you install haskell-curl first?
