ARCHINSTALL PATCHES BROKEN LOG SHARING AS HASKELL ECOSYSTEM ROLLS FORWARD

The installer's log upload feature is working again after 0x0.st went dark, while the Haskell library stack quietly marches through staging.

archinstall shipped a working replacement for its broken paste service integration [1]. The old curl hint pointed to 0x0.st, which disabled uploads months ago and left users with a dead end when filing bug reports. The new share-log subcommand uploads install.log directly to paste.rs via stdlib urllib instead of shelling out, then prints a shareable URL—and the fix propagates across README, bug docs, and GitHub templates so no user-facing hint gets left stale [2]. Two more installer fixes landed: truncated package metadata in the additional packages preview [3] (pacman wraps long descriptions at narrow pty widths, and the parser was stripping the whitespace it needed to detect continuation lines) and bspwm black screen fixes via provision delegation and default configs [4]. Meanwhile, the Haskell ecosystem in extra-staging-x86_64 is moving: haskell-data-fix, scientific, prettyprinter-compat-ansi-wl-pprint, prettyprinter-ansi-terminal, and ansi-terminal all staged [5][6][7][8][9]. These are transitional—watch for them to main.
