Installing gitit through cabal adds 500MB of stuff to my system (300MB in debian packages for ghc6, libghc6-*-dev, et.al., 200MB in cabal packages in ~/.cabal/). It would be nice if a debian package were made instead that only needs runtime dependencies like pandoc and happstack.
from gitit.cabal: build-depends: base >=3 && < 5, parsec < 3, pretty, xhtml, containers, pandoc >= 1.2, process, filepath, directory, mtl, cgi, network, old-time, highlighting-kate, bytestring, utf8-string, SHA > 1, HTTP, HStringTemplate, random, network >= 2.1.0.0, recaptcha >= 0.1, filestore >= 0.3.3, datetime, zlib, url, happstack-server >= 0.3.3 && < 0.5, happstack-util >= 0.3.2 && < 0.5, xml >= 1.3.4, hslogger >= 1 && < 1.1, ConfigFile >= 1, feed >= 0.3.6, cautious-file >= 0.1.5 && < 0.2, texmath (Additionally, I needed libpcre3-dev for cabal to install gitit correctly; maybe libpcre3 is needed as a runtime dependency too.) There seem to be debian packages for happstack (and a load of other haskell packages) here: http://deb.seereason.com/debian/pool/main/h/ X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
