Hi Simon, Herbert provides quite a few GHC builds at https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases, makes me believe LTS might be Xenial or Trusty. For both seem to be packages up to 8.2.2 and even HEAD available. Hope that helps. Cheers, Moritz

The GHC distribution for Ubuntu appears to be 7.10, very old. Do we (or they) bring on new versions?

Here we use the LTS versions of Ubuntu, which seems stuck on 7.10.
