Basic setups -- is it called haskell-mode/haskell-emacs or what?

haskell-emacs was Chris Done's first attempt at writing a new Haskell mdoe for Emacs before he merged it into haskell-mode proper; so you probably don't want to use haskell-emacs any more (it's rather old and quite probably bitrotted).

Just tried the "Quick Install" instructions at https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode As best as I can see there is no haskell-mode after package-refresh contents There is only these when I try to do package-install [completions

buffer]

...

Click on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.

Possible completions are: haskell-emacs haskell-emacs-base haskell-emacs-text haskell-snippets haskell-tab-indent

Update: While the install via emacs package system doesn't work, install via git does

<ot remark> Emacs package system is about as broken as a linux kernel would be if it tried to do the job of grub

Can you double check whether melpa-stable was indeed added to package-archives? (That said, I use melpa itself rather than melpa-stable to get regular snapshots rather than specific releases.)

Another alternative is to use el-get to fetch it from git rather than package.el.

Changing the melpa url from http to https seems to make it work -- thanks! [Instructions here https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode give http] I'll need to check more carefully
