ghc-6.4.1 now in Extras
by Jens Petersen 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I just sent an announcement to the main haskell and ghc lists and forgot to cc here... ghc-6.4.1 is now available from Fedora Extras. :) To upgrade run "yum upgrade ghc" as root. (It will still leave you with a ghc64 package if you have that installed which you can remove "rpm -e ghc64" if you no longer need 6.4.) For a new install run "yum install ghc" as root instead. Cheers, Jens ps This release comes without documentation since haddock is not in Extras yet. If there is demand I could probably put up a doc rpm on Fedora Haskell for the meantime. (haddock is awaiting review for inclusion in Extras.)

RE: [Fedora-haskell] x86_64 packages
by Simon Marlow 24 Jul '05

GHCi isn't supported on x86_64 in version 6.4 (the soon-to-be-relesaed 6.4.1 will have initial support for GHCi, though). When using the i386 build, you also need to pass additional options to ghc: $ ghc -opta-m32 -optc-m32 -optl-m32 ... this tells gcc to generate i386 code when invoked by ghc.

darcs-1.0.3 added to Fedora Haskell repos
by Jens Petersen 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

I submitted darcs to Fedora Extras a few weeks ago, but since it hasn't been reviewed yet... I finally went ahead and updated the darcs package in Fedora Haskell to 1.0.3. See http://haskell.org/fedora/ for more information about Fedora Haskell. Jens * Important Note for current users of Fedora Haskell - The epoch from the darcs package was dropped in anticipation of the package going into extras... so if you're using darcs from Fedora Haskell already, you must first remove the old darcs package before installing the new one. Sorry for the inconvenience. - The repo url has changed: please remove "RPMS.stable" from the end of urls pointing to the repo. Please see the above webpage for more details.

[FYI] ghc now in Fedora Extras
by Jens Petersen 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

I'm very excited to announce that ghc has finally been included in Fedora Extras. :-) The current package is ghc-6.4-1%{dist} which is less than what is currently in Fedora Haskell (ghc-6.4-7). (There is no real difference between the two packages currently so there is no need to "upgrade" to the Extras package yet, though the next build will probably be greater than 6.4-7.) Since ghc is rather heavy to build/download/mirror though, I will probably still do initial builds for Fedora Haskell and push stable changes gradually to Fedora Extras. For more information on using Fedora Extras see <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/UsingExtras>. Next I'm planning to contribute haddock (needed to build ghc's documentation of course) and darcs to Extras. :) Other contributors are of course most welcome. If you have any questions or concerns about this, free to ask. Jens

ghc-6.4 packages for powerpc available
by Jens Petersen 12 May '05

12 May '05

FYI I added an rpm package just based on the ghc upstream ppc binary distribution. This does not mean that Fedora Haskell is going to support ppc fully soon, unless someone sends me a minimac... ;-P (BTW Fedora Core and Extras will support ppc officially in FC4.) Jens
