Hi, Please find attached an ebuild for dev-haskell/hs-plugins-1.0_rc0. I've modified the ebuild to use the haskell-cabal eclass. This version works with GHC-6.4 (not sure about 6.2), and also on amd64 (all programs in the testsuite give the expected results).

That's great David, thanks. I'll double check with the upstream hs-plugins author if he thinks _rc0 should be packaged or wether we should wait for 1.0.
We've been told that there will be a release in the future that will build with ghc-6.6 and 6.8. The current releases only build with 6.4.x and are p.masked in portage.
Sigh. Ebuild lived for a while in overlay and served as base for lambdabot. It was unstable and relied (and still relies) on .hi format internals. There is newer (1.4.1) version sitting in the overlay if it's absolutely needed. Closing as WONTFIX

If you still want something like this, consider dev-haskell/hint in the overlay.
