The original haskell.org site seems ok, just mirror.ac.uk is broken.

Oops, retract that. The RedHat 6 packages all seem to be 4.08.1, not the advertised 4.08.2.

There shouldn't be any links to RedHat 6 packages.

We're providing the links for 4.08.1 since that's all we have, and a lot of people still seem to use RH6.

packages for it. If you have a RedHat 6.x box with an older version of GHC already installed, just run

rpm --rebuild ghc-4.08.2-1.src.rpm

This will only work if you install RPM 4, no? I couldn't find a way to make RPM 4 produce v3 RPMs, either. But never mind, I installed RPM 4, installed the source RPM, downgraded again to RPM 3, and am now building RH 6 RPMs, which I'll make available. One problem I had: the spec file doesn't have a dependency on the jade package, but it needs it for some DSSSL files without which the docs won't build. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | RSA, n. safety in numbers
