2.8.0 is the current version: http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-emacs/ As far as I can see git://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode.git https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode.git have not released any version since 2.8.0. There is a live ebuild that builds it from the git repo in the Gentoo Haskell overlay, app-emacs/haskell-mode-9999 https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/tree/master/app-emacs/haskell-mode I do not know why that page has not been updated. But it is quite clear from the actual git log that version 2.8.0 is over two years old now (September 2010). Between that at version 2.9.1 (tagged in the repository) are around ninety commits, the vast majority of which are straight up bugfixes and feature additions. Whatever that project page says, 2.8.0 is the dark ages of haskell-mode. -9999 packages are too bleeding edge even for me. I don't want a package that changes every single commit. Could you please ask upstream to release a tarball for it? So far, 2.9.1 is only a tag on github. (I'm aware of the ZIP and TAR.GZ links on github, but they don't appear to be stable. For example, the tarball for 2.8.0 downloaded from there gives me different checksums from the ones in our package's Manifest.) I requested upstream to put a release here, as you requested: http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-emacs/ However, I haven't heard anything back from them yet. Perhaps they are trying to figure out who has control of that page. (Separate domain.) If it is just a stable tarball you want, I downloaded a copy and put it in my ftp repository: ftp://frigidcode.com/redist/haskell-mode/haskell-mode-2.9.1.tar.gz (In reply to comment #4) > I requested upstream to put a release here, as you requested: > > http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-emacs/ Thank you. > However, I haven't heard anything back from them yet.

If another one will appear on the homepage, I'll update the ebuild to use it. > If it is just a stable tarball you want, I downloaded a copy and put it in > my ftp repository: > > ftp://frigidcode.com/redist/haskell-mode/haskell-mode-2.9.1.tar.gz The problem with this solution (we do it like this for other packages when there's no other way) is that it has to be mirrored locally for every new release. But since I the same checksums for the github tarball as two days ago, I think we can give it a try. haskell-mode-2.9.1 committed to Portage tree. Please test. |
