[arch-haskell] haskell-gtk, gtk2hs-gtk, and related packages in Arch Haskell

[gdweber at iue.edu]

I notice that in AUR we have

haskell-gtk 0.11.2-1

haskell-cairo 0.11.1-1

haskell-gio 0.11.1-1
haskell-glade 0.11.1-1
haskell-glib 0.11.1-1
haskell-pango 0.11.2-1

gtk2hs-buildtools 0.11.1-1 (which is also in AUR, even though its
prefix is like the community packages ...)

while in Community we also have

gtk2hs-gtk 0.11.0-2

gtk2hs-cairo 0.11.0-2
gtk2hs-glade 0.11.0-1
gtk2hs-glib 0.11.0-1
gtk2hs-pango 0.11.0-2
gtk2hs-buildtools 0.9-1

i686  	Community  	gtk2hs-pango  	0.11.0-2 
i686 	Community 	gtk2hs-cairo 	0.11.0-2 
i686 	Community 	gtk2hs-gtk 	0.11.0-2 
i686 	Community 	gtk2hs-glib 	0.11.0-1 
i686 	Community 	gtk2hs-buildtools 	0.9-1

but these do not seem to depend on a gtk2hs-gio;
indeed, there is no such package.

Are the haskell- packages better, as their version numbers
suggest, or are there good reasons for sticking with the
gtk2hs- packages?

The haskell- packages are maintained by the "arch-haskell" (Arch Haskell Team);
the gtk2hs packages are maintained by Sergej Pupykin.  Is he
part of the Arch Haskell Team.  If so, why do we have
both groups of packages?  If not, should he be persuaded
to let the haskell- packages replace the gtk2hs- packages?

Also, why does haskell- packages each list as dependencies
gtk2hs-buildtools *3 times*?
