The Fedora Haskell SIG is pleased to announce the arrival of GHC 7.8 in Fedora 22 Rawhide (development tree). - the GHC version is 7.8.4: we are no longer following haskell-platform strictly - Around 125 Haskell packages have been updated to new versions, including pandoc-1.13.2. See <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8>. GHC 7.8 has a lot of nice new features including: - shared dynamic libraries on *nix arches - a new runtime I/O manager which scales much better for larger workloads - new NCG and overhauled llvm backend See <https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-8-1.html> At the same there are currently still a number of provisos in Rawhide: - a few packages have not yet been rebuilt/updated with ghc-7.8.4: - build errors: bustle, ghc-ForSyde, ghc-type-level, ghc-parameterized-data - missing new deps: hledger, Agda, leksah, cab - also the RTS seems to have some strange problems on ARM leading to crashes which is under investagation: no idris build on armv7. These should be fixed over the coming days/weeks. Please report any problems you find in bugzilla.
