Welcome!
========

This repository is to provide support for working with the Glorious
Glasgow Haskell Compilation System and Haskell Cabal on FreeBSD, it
hosts the work of volunteers interested in maintaining such ports.  It
considered *a highly experimental collection* and it may contain ports
that are not present in the Ports Collection currently.

How to Use
----------

In order to use the ports in this repository, you will have to install
[portshaker(8)](http://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/portshaker/) and
its configuration files, be sure you are selecting the `HASKELL` option:

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portshaker-config
    # make install clean

Start `portshaker(8)`, and answer the questions (if there is any).  They
usually refer to colluding ports where the recommended answer is
`install` or simply `i`.

# portshaker -v

You can use the ports as usual after the process has finished.

Binary Packages
---------------

It is also possible to use binary packages built from these ports via
[pkg(8)](http://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/pkg).  Note that these
packages *are not supported officially* and *may not be consistent* with
the packages in the official FreeBSD `pkg(8)` repository, so use them at
your own risk!  They are also *updated on a best-effort basis*, although
you can find packages for all supported architectures and versions
there.

First, you will have to make sure that `pkg(8)` is installed on your
system and your ports are all converted to this new format.  Consult the
[FreeBSD Handbook](http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/pkgng-intro.html) on
the details.

Configure the corresponding package repository.  That is, create a
`Haskell.conf` file under `$LOCALBASE/etc/pkg/repos`, with the following
contents:

Haskell: {
      url: "http://terraform.cs.hm.edu/packages/${ABI}/latest",
      enabled: yes
    }

Finally, fetch the latest version of the repository catalogue:

# pkg update

Now you are ready to install or upgrade binary packages from this
repository via the standard `pkg(8)` commands.  For example, installing
or updating Haskell Platform requires this single command only:

# pkg install hs-haskell-platform

How to Report Bugs
------------------

Let us know if you have problems with installing and using the ports in
the repository, because receiving feedback is always useful, and
definitely a way to get your issues fixed :-)

There are many different ways to report bugs.

- Create an issue [right
  here](https://github.com/freebsd-haskell/freebsd-haskell/issues).

- Mail us at [haskell(at)freebsd.org](mailto:haskell_at_freebsd.org) or
  [freebsd-haskell(at)haskell.org](mailto:freebsd-haskell_at_haskell.org).

- Poke us interactively on `#haskell-FreeBSD` at
  [freenode](http://www.freenode.net/).

**Note:** Please, do not use FreeBSD Bugzilla to report issues with these
ports because it is mainly for ports *in the Ports Collection*.

How to Contribute
-----------------

Do not forget to contribute your fixes if you already have a patch for a
known problem!  You can use the same interface as for reporting bugs.
Change requests and new ports are also welcome.

For more information on the technical details, please see the
[wiki](https://github.com/freebsd-haskell/ports/wiki) or simply get in touch
by the one of the communication channels mentioned above.
