On behalf of the Haskell SIG I am pleased to announce that
in F35 Rawhide ghc has been updated from 8.8.4 to 8.10.5 and
Haskell packages from Stackage LTS 16 to 18.5 versions.
This is for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.10_%26_Stackage_18
and has many important version updates including:
ghc: 8.8.4 -> 8.10.5
cabal-install: 3.0.0.0 -> 3.2.0.0
stack: 2.3.3 -> 2.7.3
hlint: 3.1.6 -> 3.2.7
ormolu: 0.1.3.0 -> 0.1.4.1
pandoc: 2.9.2.1 -> 2.14.0.3
Agda: 2.6.1.2 -> 2.6.2
bustle: 0.7.5 -> 0.8.0

hledger: 1.18.1 -> 1.21
xmobar: 0.36 > 0.38
Hi,
I am working hard on building all the Haskell packages updated for F35
as part of the Fedora Change: GHC 8.10 and LTS 18.
Currently gi-harfbuzz is subpackaged in gi-pango,
but gi-pango no longer builds in the same source package as gi-harfbuzz
so it needs to be moved to a separate package (as it should be anyway).
Could someone please help to review the new ghc-gi-harfbuzz package:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1988800 ?
Since Fedora 35 is branching on Tue it is a bit urgent: it is needed by
gi-gtk and gi-gdk.
For the similar reasons gi-gmodule also needs to be reviewed, though it can
only build with Stackage lts-18 (ie in my sidetag for f35):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1991179
I would be nice to unbundle ghc-th-compat too, since it will be needed by 3
separate packages:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1980776
So if someone could review that too it would be nice, though it is not a
blocker.
Thanks, Jens
