Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: Haskell Platform Versions Comparison Chart

Hi Joachim,

  Regarding information about Debian sid, I'd like to understand the exact
  use case.  Can you elaborate on that?
 
 one use case is developers who use distro packages and want to tell
 others against what version of the platform they develop their code
 against.

I'll not add that myself, but I'm happy to add a link to a friendly
fork.

Cheers,
Simon

 Do you see a way that you could incorporate distribution information?

I thought it would be nice to have a second table that correlates
Platform versions with distro releases, because I think this is relevant
to package authors.

 I compiled a chart that gives a side-by-side comparison of package
 versions in various Haskell Platform releases.

Nice stuff but I cannot see alex or happy there.

 This includes both, packages that come with ghc and platform packages.
 Source is on GitHub[1].
 
 Nice. Any chance you could get the packages sorted alphabetically so
 that it's easier to look things up directly?

Sure, now they are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive).

Before it was more like two alphabetically sorted lists
(case-sensitive), GHC boot libs first, and platform libs second
(determined by the latest release, exactly what `ghc-pkg list` gives
you).

Ideally boot libs and platform libs would go into two separate tables,
but packages may move between those (e.g. syb did).

Cheers,
Simon

PS: If directly means manually, than I'd strongly advise against doing
that ;)

nice, and much prettier version than

Do you see a way that you could incorporate distribution information?
You could maybe parse and (optionally) present the information that
Hackage reads, e.g. http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/cabalDebianMap.txt
for Debian?

That's great! I think, it would be useful to include the version of the 
shipped gcc (where applicable). Would that be complicated to add?

For windows, I looked them up once:

2011.4.0.0  - 4.5.0
2011.2.0.1  - 4.5.0
2011.2.0.0  - 4.5.0
2010.2.0.0  - 3.4.5

Cheers,
Sönke

I think this only applies to windows**;  and I'd tend to put it into a
separate table.

But yes, open a ticket or send me a pull request (preferred!).

Yes, the platform on Mac OS X requires Xcode, which includes gcc.
