Is there any plan to make a package for archlinux x86_64 with (more or
less) complete GHC 6.8.3 binaries? I know I can download and install myself,
usually I do so myself, but the reason is to prepare a list of packages for
others. So far, the 6.8.2 is available.
Hi, Arch ghc maintainer here.
We have opted to delay the upgrade of ghc because that version
includes some regressions that we're not so wild about, and because
upgrading ghc leads to lots of recompilations to prevent breakage.
Do you have a specific need for that version?
Well, just wanted to get ready some stuff for the coming academic year.
So the main reason was to force everybody involved to use the version
and, if possible, with not too much effort. If it is much effort to make
the package, I can prepare a workaround, no problem, thanks.
