Snap: A Really Fast Haskell Web Framework

The new Snap web framework for Haskell is now packaged for Arch Linux.

• snap (core)
• snap server
• heist (templating)

You can install it automagically with, e.g.:

$ sudo bauerbill
            --trusted-users arch-haskell
            --build-as $USER
            --noconfirm
            --aur
            -S haskell-snap-server

And dive into the quick start:

$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir site
$ cd site
$ snap init
$ cabal install
$ site 8000

Then visit http://localhost:8000/ to serve up your new web project.

Arch Haskell News: Feb 16 2009

A regular update of Haskell in Arch Linux

Arch now has 926 Haskell packages in AUR.

That’s an increase of 27 new packages in the last 8 days, or 3.38 new Haskell apps a day. Well done everyone!

Noteworthy updates

• The functional reactive grapefruit gui library supported
  
• haskelldb suite now supported

Installing Packages from AUR

To install AUR packages, we recommend yaourt, as in:

yaourt --noconfirm  --lightbg --aur -S haskell-haha

You may want to alias that command line. Here’s an example from this week’s releases:

The reason to use yaourt over cabal-install is that AUR packages correctly resolve all versions and, more importantly, C library and other system dependencies. Packages will also be pulled from the binary releases in [extra] and [community] where available, saving you build times.
