On Linux, the builds are keyed by the OS name they were built on. This is because systems like CentOS have different versions of libgmp, glibc than e.g. Debian derivatives. So they actually refer to different paths, are built against different APIs depending on what's available, etc. That's why the names are distinguished; in the past only Debian-based builds were offered, but I started building CentOS versions in the 7.8.x era.

The debian-based builds are normally the 'lowest common denominator' that works on all modern systems. Given that, you want:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/ghc-8.0.1-x86_64-deb8-linux.tar.xz

If you have a problem, just yell.

Hi devs,

I would like to download GHC 8 binaries for Arch Linux on an x86-64 architecture. I assume I'm looking for an unknown-linux build, and it looks like what I want is a Tier 1 platform, according to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms   Yet I don't see this release in https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/

Can you help?

Thanks!
Richard
