| dcoutts | agrees with Heffalump, except the other way around |
| Heffalump | ? |
| jyp | Cabal-1.1.6, HaXml-1.13.2, QuickCheck-1.0 |
| dcoutts | Heffalump: all lower case :-) |
| jyp | all other lowercase |
| ndm | i have FilePath-1.0, filepath-1.0 |
| Heffalump | I didn't say what I thought the convention should be |
| dcoutts | Heffalump: oh, sorry it didn't read that way |
| Heffalump | in fact I agree it should be all lower case, on the basis that the majority of my currently installed packages are already that way |
| dcoutts | there should certainly be a restriction on not allowing packages that differ only in the case |
| jyp | Cabal is the annoying exception :) |
| dcoutts | so FilePath and filepath should not be allowed at once since that distinction cannot be preserved by most packaging systems jyp: not a lot we can do about that now :-( |
| action | dcoutts -> dinner |
| dcoutts | -> dinner |
| action | jyp -> dinner |
| jyp | -> dinner |
| Heffalump | is jyp in Australia too? |
| jyp | jyp -> lunch |
| Heffalump | wooh, safe to the rescue :-) |
| ndm | :) |
| robreim | Does networking or threading under hugs require any sort of special command line arguments? |
| ndm | threading requires ghc, i think |
| Heffalump | that's one hell of a special command line argument ;-) |
| robreim | Really? I thought hugs had threading. Oh well, that explains a lot. THanks, ndm :) |
| ndm | it has, but not real threading, its cooperative, i think |
| robreim | Oh right. Then I surmise it uses blocking I/O in its networking support, since that's what the symptoms I'm seeing seem to indicate. |
| ndm | Igloo: i was expecting you to mail the list about tabs and spaces etc, or are you waiting til after GHC 6.6.1 |
| foxy-om | do haskell threads operate in one os thread? |
| bringert | foxy-om: depends foxy-om: see forkIO and forkOS foxy-om: and the RTS -N flag |
| foxy-om | ok, does forkIO allow process distribution over different processors? |
| ivanm | jyp: OK, thanks jyp: if I re-get the darcs stuff, do I have to rebuild yi? jyp: just tried pulling... darcs couldn't find any new changes @tell jyp When doing darcs pull, it can't find any changes. |
| lambdabot | Consider it noted. |
| hpaste | kolmodin pasted "yi panic" at http://hpaste.org/1317 |
| balodja | there is a question about haskell syntax. in export-list, when typing "module Blablabla (export-list) where ...", trailing comma is a sytax error? for example, module Asdf (Abc, , Dfg) where ... i ask because there are lots of files in sources of ghc compiler, where such construction takes place |
