Hi, I wanted to mention some newer ghc builds I have made for RHEL5. EPEL5 currently has ghc-6.12.3 in stable, but I have built ghc-7.0.4 which has been in EPEL5 testing now for over a month. The update also includes cabal-install. I am planning to push it to stable this month but I wanted to mention it first here as a heads-up. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2013-12484/ghc-7.0.4-45.... Please report any problems with this in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20EPEL&component=ghc Jens ps Additionally I have a new ghc-7.4.2 repo for EPEL5 (which should also work on RHEL6) and includes haskell-platform: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.4.2/ which is a backport from Fedora 19. Please report any problems with this directly to me. pps Later this year I plan to backport ghc-7.4.2 officially to EPEL6.
please holler if you need help backporting 7.6 and 7.8 please :)

It would be good to have repos for those too, I agree. What I would like to do in the future is to use Software Collections [1] to provide multiple versions of ghc, etc for RHEL in particular. With RHEL's long lifetime, providing just a single version of ghc seems inadequate. This should provide more flexibility and allow people to choose whether they want to use new ghc or to stick with an older version, or both. :) [1] https://fedorahosted.org/SoftwareCollections/ http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Contributor_Documentation/1/html/...
