To make the task of implementing the Arch Haskell policy of tracking AUR feasible, we take two approaches:
* massive automation of Hackage -> AUR conversion, via cabal2arch * group participation in updating packages.
The first step ensures a consistent user experience:
* cabal2arch should be used to generate all Haskell AUR packages, * which ensures all naming conventions and other policies are followed,
The second point ensures the Arch Haskell project isn't vulernable to "bus errors" where a user burns out.
The job of an Arch Haskell group maintainer
The job of an Arch Haskell maintainer is as follows.
* Ensure AUR tracks Hackage versions of packages.
To do this, the following work is done:
* Watch the Hackage RSS feed * When new packages appear, attempt to build and upload them, with the "build" script.
