: I recently got a CentOS server, but noticed that ghc rpm is not available from CentOS yum. After investigation, I found ghc is in Fedora repository, but does not make its way to EPEL, which yum on CentOS can use. (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/)
Is there any plan to get it to EPEL? Or is there any missing piece preventing it? Thanks, Steve
I don't understand this. I went to http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/ and did not see ghc. I thought ghc is there for fedora but not for centos. And Jeff is saying that one may as well just build it from source?
