Hi Simon,
Thanks for that.
I already have it on the list, and this one:
ppa:fmarier/git-annex
with many packages already precompiled.
(if someone doesn't want cabal)

I have 7.6.3 already, but I was wondering why the repository packages are not maintained. 12.04 is an LTS for 5 years, so I suppose many would stick to it for a longer time.
I added PPAs for GHC 7.6.3 recently. Feel free to use:
sudo apt-get --purge remove ghc sudo apt-get --purge remove cabal-install sudo apt-add-repository ppa:typeful/ghc-7.6.3 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:typeful/cabal-install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install
This assumes that you only want to install GHC and cabal-install with apt and everything else from Hackage.
Cheers, Simon
