I have built a very early candidate for the Haskell Platform 2011 set,
ignoring any active proposals, using GHC 7.
Issues that were raised:
= Haskell Platform packages that have broken the HP policy, by adding new
dependencies that are not part of the Haskell Platform set:
* cgi (known issue)
+ adds MonadCatchIO-mtl (12 packages use it) dependency.
+ last compliant version 3001.1.7.4
* GLUT (known issue)
+ adds StateVar -any (9 packages use it), Tensor -any (4 packages
use it)
+ last compliant version 2.1.2.1
* OpenGL (known issue)
+ adds OpenGLRaw >=1.1.0.0 (6 users)
GLURaw >=1.1.0.0, (1 user)
StateVar -any, (9 users)
ObjectName -any, (2 users)
Tensor -any (4 users)
+ last compliant version 2.2.3.0
= Haskell Platform packages that will break with GHC 7, because base 3 has gone
away:
* haskell src-1.0.1.3
++ libraries will have to fix this
= Other inconsistencies with currently released packages:
* time 1.2.0.3 was excluded because cabal-install-0.8.2 requires time
==1.1.*
++ assuming new cabal-install release soon?
* haddock 0.8.1 is out, but ghc 7 RC is shipping with haddock 0.8.0
* stm 2.2.0.1 uses throwSTM, which wasn't in the release candidate.
