I'm not sure any of them are troubling. This is my view on it: - GHC is a big package, but Vesa is doing a good job keeping it up-to-date. Currently it *looks* like it lagging behind upstream, but that's caused by a strange move to use an even/release version number for a tech-preview release. - IMNSHO HP doesn't have a place in Arch, it should be dropped and instead the individual packages should be updated as new versions are available. See a recent discussion on the ArchHaskell mailing list. - Xmonad is far from troubling, it just needs an update that for some reason have been overlooked. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx jabber: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay
