Except that there are various reasons a package won't build on Hackage: * Temporary glitch with another Haskell dependency (e.g. package Foo depends upon Bar-x.*; maintainer of Bar uploads a new point release of Bar that fails to build just before Foo's maintainer uploads the new version, thus the build server picks the buggy version of Bar and thus the new version of Foo fails to build). * Requires a foreign library that isn't installed on the Hackage build server. * OS-dependent. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic [email protected] http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
