https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Update_Haskell_to_Stackage_LTS_11

== Summary ==
Update the Haskell package set from Stackage LTS 10 to LTS 11.
This updates a subset of the Haskell libraries and packages to newer versions.

== Owner ==
* Name: Jens Petersen, Fedora Haskell SIG
* Email: <petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>

== Detailed Description ==
The Haskell Stackage project provides consist sets of buildable
packages from the upstream Hackage repository.

[https://www.stackage.org/lts-11 Stackage LTS 11] was released in
March, it unlocks newer versions of a number of import Haskell
libraries and other packages.
GHC and its core libraries remain unchanged compared to LTS 10, so
only about half the packages will need to be rebuild (about 200
version bumps and their reverse dependencies).

(The just released Stackage LTS 12 which has a major ghc version bump
to 8.4.3 will wait for Fedora 30.)

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora users will have a newer version of Haskell Stackage LTS
packages to use and develop on.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Bump the affected Haskell packages from LTS 10 to LTS 11 using
cabal-rpm, rpmbuild-order and fedora-haskell-tools
** Build them and their reverse dependencies for Rawhide (using
f29-ghc sidetag to avoid disruption)
** Push the builds to Rawhide
** Verify the dependencies are consistent

== How To Test ==
* <code>sudo dnf install ghc-*-devel cabal-install</code>
* <code>sudo dnf update ghc*</code>
* <code>cabal install Favorite-Package</code>

== User Experience ==
The Fedora Haskell packages will be upgraded from Stackage LTS 10 to
LTS 11 versions.
