cabal-install-1.20.0.0
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hi, cabal-install-1.20.0.0 was released this week and I built it for Fedora 19 and 20 in copr: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/petersen/cabal-install/ It is Haskell statically linked so it can be installed easily and used with current fedora releases though you might want to "cabal install Cabal" [1] to use the latest features like sandboxing.

I have built it for Fedora 20 in my Copr repo: < https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.8/>. (You can also install cabal-install-1.18 from < https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/petersen/cabal-install/>) We plan to add ghc-7.8 officially to Fedora 21: < https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8> (wip).

I filed <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8976>. Anyway I suppose it may be too late to fix for the 7.8.1 release but hopefully soon for 7.8.2.

ghc-7.6.3 in EPEL7
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, Just a heads up that ghc-7.6.3 (Haskell compiler) from F20 was built for EPEL 7 Beta last week. Lot of building of Haskell packages still to be done there. Current EPEL versions are: EPEL5: ghc-7.0.4 (recently updated) EPEL6: ghc-7.0.4 (updated in 2012; update to 7.4.2 planned) EPEL7: ghc-7.6.3 We will probably stay with 7.6.3 in EPEL7 at least until after ghc-7.8 is completely stable (ie when rawhide moves to 7.10+) and works on ppc64. Jens ps I would also like to add Software Collections for different ghc versions for EL to better allow users to choose the version of ghc best for them.

GHC 7.8 Change Proposal
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hi Fedora Haskell SIG, A heads-up I updated the GHC 7.8 Change proposal for Fedora 21 with a bit detail to make it into a proposed System Wide Change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8 Let's hope 7.8.1 will appear soon and maybe 7.8.2 with more fixes follows on quite quickly so we get a good stable ghc into F21. Jens ps Currently seems 7.8.1 will be broken on ppc64 and s390x. :-( pps The good news is every arch gets shared libs finally!
