Haskell platform was released with the latest stable GHC (7.0.4 of course).
Guys, what's happening with haskell support in Arch?

not keeping update with upstream.

If they have just this kernel, how they will boot the machine in order

If I may: I think if they (devs) work with that particular program,
they should know better if a -O3 optimization is more adequate or not
then a -O2 or whatever, more then the packager -- that is not so
deeply involved with the project anyway.

Just 'linux' is the most pure and KISS choice. :-)

I set up a repository based on a modified version of ArchAudio, with
some of my stuff and lots of PKGBUILDs from AUR's contributors. Hope
this helps to update and maintain ArchAudio alive and updated. Just
