I made a testing repo and updated to ghc-7.2.2 some 100 packages, and everything looks okay. For me it's the same, we can use both 7.2.2 or 7.0.4. During Christmas holiday I have enough time to try and build most of packages for one of those. If Magnus agree.
I don't think that [haskell] move to a version of GHC that is newer than what's in [extra]. This means that in order to avoid doing unnecessary work you need to ask Vesa what his GHC plans are. In a thread from earlier in the autumn he did express some plans, but I suspect you are already aware of that thread.
Witch version should I use? For now we have 1 vote for 7.2.2 (Magnus) and 1 for 7.0.4 (Bernardo).
I suspect the most worthwhile thing to do is an attempt to use 7.4rc1. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
