cvs to github

Following How to export revision history from mercurial or git to cvs?

On hanuman

I created an id file git_authors mapping cvs ids to github name, email format for all contributors:
timp=Tim Pizey<timp@paneris.org>
then create a repository on github (melati in this example, I already have uploaded my ssh public key for this machine)
git cvsimport -d /usr/cvsroot -C melati -r cvs -k -A ../../git_authors melati
cd melati
echo A jdbc to java object relational mapping system. 1999-2011 > README.txt
git add README.txt
git commit -m "Initial" README.txt
git remote add origin git@github.com:timp21337/melati.git
git push -u origin master

Installing lhs2TeX on Ubuntu

lhs2TeX is a processor for literate Haskell code whose output is laTeX. The following worked for me on Unbuntu 11.04, though this was not the path I travelled, that is I discovered that, for example, libghc6-zlib-dev was a prerequisite the hard way.
sudo apt-get install ghc
sudo apt-get install libghc6-zlib-dev
sudo apt-get install cabal-install
cabal update
cabal install cabal-install
sudo apt-get install texlive
cabal install lhs2tex
logout  or 
export PATH=$PATH:~/.cabal/bin
lhs2TeX -o t.tex t.lhs 
pdflatex t.tex

Haskell - parse error in pattern: n + 1

Should you get the following error from Haskell
Parse error in pattern: n + 1
this maybe because you are using the n+1 pattern, which is no longer included by default eg
> power :: Double -> Int -> Double
> power x 0         = 1
> power x (n + 1)   = x * power x n
the fix is to include
> {-# LANGUAGE NPlusKPatterns #-}
Hope this helps.
