Ghc 6.8.2

There's a pakage for ghc 6.8.1  in extra.
I'm requesting to update it to 6.8.2
Or if it is possible to point me where's pkbuild file for previous package, so I'l try to tweak it myself.

You can get the PKGBUILD by clicking the "CVS entries" link on the package page (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=ghc) or you can use ABS (see wiki).  It is a minor version release so should be an easy update.

GHC 6.8.2 compiles well, see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41665
Takes a long time though.

The easiest way for getting the old PKGBUILD ist to cd to /var/abs/extra/devel/ghc. If this directory does not exist, do a "abs" before. If even this does not help, edit /etc/abs.conf and uncomment the extra-section.

Thanks. I did that, and it compiles now.
Does anyone needs a ready package ? If yes, i can upload it somewhere once it's done compiling.

Re: Ghc 6.8.2

Is your package for i686 or for x86_64?
