-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-15308 2011-11-02 17:50:48 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ghc Product : Fedora 16 Version : 7.0.4 Release : 31.3.fc16 URL : http://haskell.org/ghc/ Summary : Glasgow Haskell Compiler Description : GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights: - GHC supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus various extensions. - GHC has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism, including support for Software Transactional Memory (STM). - GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs (check the results on the "Computer Language Benchmarks Game"). - GHC works on several platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, most varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures. - GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module optimisation. - GHC compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM as a back-end. GHC can also generate C code as an intermediate target for porting to new platforms. The interactive environment compiles Haskell to bytecode, and supports execution of mixed bytecode/compiled programs. - Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and heap profiling. - GHC comes with core libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Base package now installs all of ghc, including new ghc-compiler and ghc-libraries subpackages - Add HaskellReport license tag to subpackages with Haskell Report code - Support armv5tel arch (Henrik Nordström) - Dependency autogeneration for bootstrap builds - Use system libffi also on secondary archs (except ppc for now) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Nov 11 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.4-31.3 - the post and postun scripts are now for the compiler subpackage * Wed Nov 2 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.4-31.2 - rename ghc-devel metapackage to ghc-libraries - require ghc-rpm-macros-0.14 - move compiler and tools to ghc-compiler - the ghc base package is now a metapackage that installs all of ghc, ie ghc-compiler and ghc-devel (#750317) - drop ghc-doc provides - add HaskellReport license tag to some of the library subpackages which contain some code from the Haskell Reports * Thu Oct 20 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.4-31.1 - setup ghc-deps.sh after ghc_version_override for bootstrapping - add armv5tel (ported by Henrik Nordström) - also use ghc-deps.sh when bootstrapping (ghc-rpm-macros-0.13.13) - replace libffi_archs with libffi_copy_archs for ppc just for now - include the ghc (ghci) library in ghc-devel (Narasim) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #750317 - make ghc base package install all of ghc https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750317 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update ghc' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
