There is now a working cabal-install-0.15.1 build there too (patching
the source in ghc-7.6.1).

I have also added a partial test build of haskell-platform but
cabal-install is broken.

Thanks! I have done a full test build for Fedora 18 Development on x86_64
which you can install from my new testing repo:
<http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc/>
It seems to work fine on fedora 17 too for me.
Official Fedora builds probably won't appear in Rawhide
until a draft/testing Haskell Platform is ready, maybe next month?
(The bootstrap build used to build it, also includes 32bit and can be
downloaded from:
<http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_4462240>)
A bootstrap build [2] for Fedora ARM using llvm-3.1 is available and
can be downloaded from
<http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_1123704/>
(Note that ghc-7.4.1 at least does not build with ghc-patched llvm-3.1.)
(The Koji scratch builds should remain available for 2 weeks from building.)

It would be nice if the TODO placeholders for library version changes
could be filled in and a note added about the removal of
extensible-exceptions.
Thank you!
