Arch Linux

Can you update this for ghc-7.10.1-1, which is now the current version in [extra]?

Hi. For me the package does not compile.
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
chmod: cannot access ‘/home/gdmsl/Arch/AURshield/aur/gitit/pkg’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/fakeroot: line 181: 32681 User defined signal 1 FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"

What can I do?

I don't know what the root cause was, but an update (pacman -Syu) solved the build issue.

Unfortunately, git it is not building on my machine.
I get the following error:
Updating the index cache file...
/home/.../aur/gitit/PKBUILD: line 80: 26728 Killed cabal update >/dev/null

cabal update is also killed if I run it manually in the terminal.

I donÄt know if this is related to this package or cabal in general. Any hints are appreciated.

@xanc: Thanks for notifying me and your hint using it with a happstack server.

The PKGBUILD file looks fairly complicated - it also is... - but I tried to do a similar build as pandoc-static does and tried to remove any haskell dependencies except for ghc and cabal-install.

The result is a more or less standalone gitit solution which works well for my needs.

Any improvements to the standalone build are welcome :)

Alternatively you can use 'haskell-gitit' in ArchHaskell (haskell-happstack)

Now the gitit has version 0.10.6.1: https://github.com/jgm/gitit/releases

Just for your information: Tried to install this package. Got the following error:

Dependency `haskell-bytestring' of `gitit' does not exist.

And yeah, couldn't find it in the aur or the official package repos either.

Just uploaded missing dependencies to AUR (procedure: cabal fetch to get the dependencies, then traverse with batch for to create PKGBUILDs for all of them, then change them all to add staticlibs, makepkg -S, then upload with burp...)

It seems though that the =-lines make it a bit harder... will work on this more...
