= Proposed System Wide Change: GHC 7.8 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8 Change owner(s): Jens Petersen <petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>, Ricky Elrod <relrod@xxxxxxxxxx>, Haskell_SIG <haskell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Update the GHC Haskell compiler to the major new 7.8 release, and update/rebuild all Haskell packages against it. == Detailed Description == * The involves updating ghc from 7.6.3 to 7.8.1 (or later), and rebuilding/updating all Fedora Haskell packages. * The initial work will be done locally offline to make sure that it is possible to build all our packages with ghc-7.8 and the latest updated libraries. * This may also include building with the llvm backend to ensure that building on ARM will work. * Once that is completed, building will be done into Koji for rawhide and testing done. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** locally test rebuilding and updating of all packages ** update macros to subpackage static libraries ** push changes to Koji ** testing * Other developers: If you own a package which contains some Haskell code built with ghc you will need to rebuild you package to make sure it still rebuilds with ghc-7.8. Feel free to contact the Haskell SIG if we need assistance with fixing any build breakage, and we will try to help out. * Release engineering: not required * Policies and guidelines: There may be some lesser changes to the Haskell Packaging Guidelines needed - they could be done after this Change. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
