Hi Dominique,
Looking at the number of regular build failures of ghc/haskell stuff in openSUSE:Factory, I can't but underline the fact that this is not ready for prime-time use.
I checked all Haskell-related build errors we currently have in Factory, and it turns out that every single one of those builds is broken because Factory accepted an update of a dependency without accepting a required update for the package itself, too. Every failing build has a submit request waiting that just needs to be merged to fix the error: ghc-app-settings: 450595 ghc-cabal-helper: 462021 ghc-concurrent-output: 461615 ghc-hackage-security: 477448 ghc-hmatrix-gsl: 479844 ghc-hmatrix-gsl-stats: 479845 ghc-hoauth2: 461636 ghc-hse-cpp: 479409 ghc-hspec-core 477449 ghc-hspec-meta: 479846 ghc-insert-ordered-containers: 477454 ghc-path-io: 450613 ghc-pipes-http: 450615 ghc-Spock: 477442 ghc-streaming-bytestring: 454904 ghc-wai-middleware-static: 477469 ghc-wreq: 462022 Please note that most of those fixes are absolutely trivial version updates, but despite this fact some of them haven't been merged into Factory for well over 2 months. For example: http://build.opensuse.org/request/show/450613 http://build.opensuse.org/request/show/450615 So, basically, these build errors exist because the Factory update process is either inaccurate (it merges breaking changes) or too slow (it does not merge fixes for broken builds).
