ANN: Haskell Platform Versions Comparison Chart
Hi, I compiled a chart that gives a side-by-side comparison of package versions in various Haskell Platform releases. http://sol.github.com/haskell-platform-versions-comparison-chart/ This includes both, packages that come with ghc and platform packages. Source is on GitHub[1]. Cheers, Simon [1] https://github.com/sol/haskell-platform-versions-comparison-chart
That's great! I think, it would be useful to include the version of the shipped gcc (where applicable). Would that be complicated to add? For windows, I looked them up once: 2011.4.0.0 - 4.5.0 2011.2.0.1 - 4.5.0 2011.2.0.0 - 4.5.0 2010.2.0.0 - 3.4.5 Cheers, Sönke Simon Hengel wrote:

I think this only applies to windows**; and I'd tend to put it into a separate table. But yes, open a ticket or send me a pull request (preferred!). Cheers, Simon ** Not really suer about Mac OS X, but I think it requires Xcode, can someone confirm this.

Nice. Any chance you could get the packages sorted alphabetically so that it's easier to look things up directly? -- Live well, ~wren

Sure, now they are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive). Before it was more like two alphabetically sorted lists (case-sensitive), GHC boot libs first, and platform libs second (determined by the latest release, exactly what `ghc-pkg list` gives you). Ideally boot libs and platform libs would go into two separate tables, but packages may move between those (e.g. syb did). Cheers, Simon PS: If directly means manually, than I'd strongly advise against doing that ;)

nice, and much prettier version than http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/platform.html Do you see a way that you could incorporate distribution information? You could maybe parse and (optionally) present the information that Hackage reads, e.g. http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/cabalDebianMap.txt for Debian?

I thought it would be nice to have a second table that correlates Platform versions with distro releases, because I think this is relevant to package authors. Regarding information about Debian sid, I'd like to understand the exact use case. Can you elaborate on that? Cheers, Simon

one use case is developers who use distro packages and want to tell others against what version of the platform they develop their code against.

I'll not add that myself, but I'm happy to add a link to a friendly fork. Cheers, Simon
