An update on ghc-7.8 progress: > [Agda] > [Agda-stdlib] Newer Agda which builds with ghc-7.8 needs some new deps: equivalence, data-hash, boxes, STMonadTrans, and tf-random -> QuickCheck >= 2.7.5. Possibily it could also be moved to Copr if there is little interest. > [cab] Newer cab needs newer conduit which I think is attractive to have anyway. > [ghc-ForSyDe] > [ghc-parameterized-data] > [ghc-type-level] I plan to retire this electronics stack which is no longer actively maintained upstream. > [hedgewars] Good news, Bruno Wolf has kindly done the legwork to get this to build. :-) So it should disappear from tomorrow's report. > [hledger] Newer hledger needs new tabular and wizards (-> control-monad-free -> prelude-extras) to build. We could also consider moving it to Copr is there is not much demand. I am happy to file Review Requests if people are intersted in keeping it. (I asked mathstuf if he has time to look at it.) > [leksah] This also needs new deps: regex-tdfa-text, vado, vcsgui, vcswrapper. Again I thinking about moving this to Copr. I would be less of a burden to maintain it there.

Looking for a review of ghc-bytestring-show (1192866)
by Bruno Wolff III 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

I want to get ghc-bytestring-show into Fedora for the hedgewars server. There was patch to work around this, but it is stopped working. Getting ghc-bytestring-show into Fedora is better than trying to update the patch, and I could get further on my own setting up the review requst, than trying to figure out how to fix the patch. The review request is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192866

ghc-7.8 now in Fedora Rawhide
by Jens Petersen 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

The Fedora Haskell SIG is pleased to announce the arrival of GHC 7.8 in Fedora 22 Rawhide (development tree). - the GHC version is 7.8.4: we are no longer following haskell-platform strictly - Around 125 Haskell packages have been updated to new versions, including pandoc-1.13.2. See <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8>. GHC 7.8 has a lot of nice new features including: - shared dynamic libraries on *nix arches - a new runtime I/O manager which scales much better for larger workloads - new NCG and overhauled llvm backend See <https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-8-…> At the same there are currently still a number of provisos in Rawhide: - a few packages have not yet been rebuilt/updated with ghc-7.8.4: - build errors: bustle, ghc-ForSyde, ghc-type-level, ghc-parameterized-data - missing new deps: hledger, Agda, leksah, cab - also the RTS seems to have some strange problems on ARM leading to crashes which is under investagation: no idris build on armv7. These should be fixed over the coming days/weeks. Please report any problems you find in bugzilla. Thanks, Jens

> > ghc-7.8.4-41.fc22 > > ----------------- > > Oh dear - gcc5 changes all the ghc library ABI hashes. Sorry my initial hunch seems incorrect. AFAICT now the ABI changes are due to -40 having been built with make -j16 on i686 and x86_64. In future I will use -j4 or less again. Jens
