Haskell requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-If you want to enable the `htools` component, which is recommended on
-bigger deployments (this give you automatic instance placement, cluster
-balancing, etc.), then you need to have a Haskell compiler installed on
-your build machine (but this is not required on the machines which are
-just going to run Ganeti). More specifically:
+Starting with Ganeti 2.7, the Haskell GHC compiler and a few base
+libraries are required in order to build Ganeti (but not to run and
+deploy Ganeti on production machines). More specifically:
- `GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/>`_ version 6.12 or higher
- or even better, `The Haskell Platform
network library
- `parallel <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parallel>`_, a parallel
programming library (note: tested with up to version 3.x)
-- `curl <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curl>`_, bindings for the
- curl library, only needed if you want these tools to connect to remote
- clusters (as opposed to the local one)
- `bytestring <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring>`_ and
`utf8-string <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/utf8-string>`_
libraries; these usually come with the GHC compiler
+- `deepseq <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq>`_
+- `curl <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curl>`_, tested with
+ versions 1.3.4 and above

-installed using ``cabal`` or alternatively htools can be build without
-curl support.

Then install the additional libraries via
``cabal``::
- $ cabal install json network parallel curl
+ $ cabal install json network parallel utf8-string curl
-The compilation of the htools components is automatically enabled when
-the compiler and the requisite libraries are found. You can use the
-``--enable-htools`` configure flag to force the selection (at which
-point ``./configure`` will fail if it doesn't find the prerequisites).
+Haskell optional features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In Ganeti version 2.6, one of the daemons (``ganeti-confd``) is shipped
-in two versions: the Python default version (which has no extra
-dependencies), and an experimental Haskell version. This latter version
-can be enabled via the ``./configure`` flag ``--enable-confd=haskell``
-and a few has extra dependencies:
+Optionally, more functionality can be enabled if your build machine has
+a few more Haskell libraries enabled: the ``ganeti-confd`` daemon
+(``--enable-confd``) and the monitoring agent
+(``--enable-monitoring``). The list of extra dependencies for these is:
- `hslogger <http://software.complete.org/hslogger>`_, version 1.1 and
above (note that Debian Squeeze only has version 1.0.9)
- `Crypto <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Crypto>`_, tested with
version 4.2.4
- `text <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text>`_
