The main changes required were to the haskell-pugs-compat, haskell-pugs-drift 2.2.3.0-2 and haskell-hssyck 0.44-2 packages to add “–constraint=’base<4′” to ensure they built with the correct base version.
Enjoy the distro packages for your favorite Haskell applications.

With so much of *pre-compiled* stuff available in ArchLinux’s repositories, I think it is good time to switch to ArchLinux.
Thanks
