Hi,
ghc-8.0.2 went into F26/Rawhide yesterday!
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.0
There is still some minor clean-up ongoing to fix some remaining breakage:
> [Agda]
> ghc-Agda-2.4.2.5-3.fc26.x86_64 requires libHSQuickCheck-2.8.2-6TxL5Cx3o2p0HsyT59KWiD-ghc7.10.3.so()(64bit)
:
> ghc-geniplate-mirror-devel-0.7.4-3.fc26.x86_64 requires ghc-devel(template-haskell-2.10.0.0-3c4cb52230f347282af9b2817f013181)
I am planning to retire Agda for F26+ unless someone wants to help
maintain it but the amount of missing dependencies is growing.
I want to set up a Copr repo to replace it.
> [Agda-stdlib]
I have been planning to retire this anyway since F25. It could
potentially go into Copr too.
> [ghc-geniplate]
> [ghc-sized-types]
These two fail to build with ghc8
> [ghc-MemoTrie]
> [ghc-derive]
> [ghc-distributive]
> [ghc-language-ecmascript]
> [ghc-shelly]
> [ghc-snap-core]
> [ghc-snap-server]
> [ghc-vector-space]
These have all been built now in f26.

Recent versions that build with ghc8 needs a lot of addition deps, so
we may have to retire this package for F26+ unless we can progress the
reviews of the https stack.
> [haskell-platform]
This package is basically deprecated now - I am planning to retire it for F26.

This needs a little work to build with ghc8.
I can help with that if needed - let me start by filing a Fedora bug
as a heads-up.
Thanks, Jens
