I have just built and installed ghc-6.8.2 on my linux box but I can't find the network package. Has it been moved or left out?
It's not installed by default. You can find it on hackage.haskell.org,
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network-2.1.0.0
Yet it's still available in the extralibs tarball. Real slackers just extract extralibs on top of the normal ghc source tarball to get most (not all) of the beloved packages built for free. Just FYI, here are some notes I scribbled down for myself a few days ago when I did some work on the OpenBSD port of GHC (comparing 6.6.1 against 6.8.2 and comparing that against hackage.haskell.org): New (wrt 6.6.1): array, bytestring, containers, directory, hpc, old-locale, old-time, packedstring, parallel, pretty, process, random. Removed from the ghc sources (make separate ports fetching them from hackage): HGL, X11. Note that X11-extras (i.e. port x11/hs-x11-extras) is obsolete now. Available in the extralibs distfile: HUnit, OpenGL, QuickCheck, cgi, fgl, haskell-src, html, mtl, network, parallel, parsec, regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix, stm, time, xhtml.
