gitit 0.8 came out yesterday, and thanks to its upgrade to happstack 6, can now be built on the current set of HABS packages. Provided you have at least 4 GB of RAM, I'm guessing. It looks like the linking the executable stage takes up 2.5 GB of RAM, and it's not going to build in any reasonable amount of time on my 64-bit 2GB box. I was going to try dynamically linking it, but the command-line option for that doesn't seem support in the installed version of Cabal. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/600 So, I was thinking of firing up a Large (7.5 GB) EC2 instance to compile it. Does a similar option exist for 32-bit? gitit is a nice tool to run, but the build requirements might put off casual usage - this is a real advantage to having pre-built binary packages available.
Also, in the future, should I throw in a heads up when packages take say, over 1GB of RAM to build? -Leif Warner
