Looks like we're missing the point here. I did add the PPAs, and all
is OK for me. :-)
LTS is a stable release, and yet many other apps get updated
regulary, but GHC does not. GHC is not part of the system itself,
it's just an app, like many others are. So I expected it to be
updated regularly, as other do.
This way it looks like it is abandoned...
Because LTS must be stable. Although you can add some PPA with
new versions of packages to your software sources list.
Hi
Danylo,
I have 7.6.3 already, but I was wondering why the
repository packages are not maintained.
12.04 is an LTS for 5 years, so I suppose many would stick
to it for a longer time.

Hi vlatko,
New versions of GHC are available in newer versions of
Ubuntu (12.10, 13.04 etc.). I recommend you to
download, build and install Haskell-platform from
sources.
Best regards,
Danylo Lizanets
Hi Caffe,
deb packages of GHC (and Haskell Platform) in Ubuntu's (LTS Precise, 12.04)
"universe" are not upgrading at all.
GHC package is almost two years old, still on version 7.4.1, and GHC site still
recommends to use Haskell Platform from repository.
Even kernel is upgrading more often, and one would expect it is much more
difficult. :-)
What would be the reason for that?
Is it abandoned?
Best regards,
vlatko
