Running a #haskell program (or trying to) is very late 90's nostalgic, very
configure && make && make install
.. then wait for 16 hours and realize it failed after 14 of them. The error messages was easier to understand in the 90's though, and autoconf fixed a lot of shite.
@kaleissin Good heavens what are you building?
@haskell gitit on a teeny vm. 16 hours is an exaggeration but since I more or less stopped distro-hopping in the late oughts and stuck to debianish, I've become a beeeeeg fan of distro packages.
@kaleissin oh gitit *as packaged by debian*?
@haskell Not anymore it is.
For not developing haskell, just using things written in it that doesn't have a distro package, what is best (least effort/fastest build on teeny vm's) of stack and cabal?
@kaleissin @haskell Since the repo has stack.yaml and no cabal.freeze you'd have more luck installing it with stack. (use ghcup anyway, though)
my, the repo needs some love..
