Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will benefit by providing the latest ghc compiler and haskell-platform to its users with various bugfixes.
Scope
- Rebuilding all Haskell packages.
How to Test
- yum install @haskell
- yum install xmonad
- yum install ghc-*-devel
- yum install pandoc
User Experience
Developers will be able to use latest GHC.
Dependencies
haskell-platform release for ghc-7.0.4 expected.
Contingency Plan
ghc-7.0.4 is a stable bugfix release, which should not have any major surprises.
If haskell-platform-2011.2.0.2 is not released in time we will ship with haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1 + ghc-7.0.4, and update haskell-platform later if necessary.
