-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-14846 2011-10-24 22:38:29 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ghc Product : Fedora 15 Version : 7.0.2 Release : 16.8.fc15 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Nov 12 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.8 - build with ghc-rpm-macros-0.14 for ghc-compiler * Fri Nov 11 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.7 - move ghc-doc and ghc-libs obsoletes - the post and postun scripts are now for the compiler subpackage - rename ghc-devel metapackage to ghc-libraries - 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) - add HaskellReport license tag to some of the library subpackages which contain some code from the Haskell Reports * Mon Oct 24 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.6 - setup ghc-deps.sh after ghc_version_override for bootstrapping - add armv5tel (ported by Henrik Nordström) - use ghc_arches - also use ghc-deps.sh when bootstrapping (ghc-rpm-macros-0.13.13) - include the ghc (ghci) library in ghc-devel (Narasim) * Fri Sep 30 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.5 - build with ghc-rpm-macros >= 0.13.11 to fix provides and obsoletes versions in library devel subpackages - no need to specify -lffi in build.mk (Henrik Nordström) * Wed Sep 28 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.4 - port to armv7hl by Henrik Nordström (#741725) - setup dependency generation with ghc-deps.sh since it was moved to ghc_lib_install in ghc-rpm-macros - BR same ghc version unless ghc_bootstrapping defined - add libffi_archs - drop the quick build profile - put dyn before p in GhcLibWays - explain new bootstrapping mode using ghc_bootstrap (ghc-rpm-macros-0.13.5) - update summary and description - merge prof subpackages into the devel subpackages with ghc-rpm-macros-0.13 * Sat May 21 2011 Jens Petersen <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.3 - obsolete dph libraries and feldspar-language - configure with /usr/bin/gcc to help bootstrapping to new archs (otherwise ccache tends to get hardcoded as gcc, which not in koji) - posttrans scriplet for ghc_pkg_recache is redundant - make devel and prof meta packages require libs with release - make ghc-*-devel subpackages require ghc with release * Sun May 1 2011 Jiri Skala <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.2 - fixes path to gcc on ppc64 arch * Tue Apr 26 2011 Jiri Skala <[email protected]> - 7.0.2-16.1 - bootstrap to ppc64 - upstream ghc-powerpc-linker-mmap.patch for ppc64 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/.
