[Haskell-cafe] No upgrade of GHC version in Ubuntu repository

2013-10-14 Thread Vlatko Basic

Hi Danylo, I have 7.6.3 already, but I was wondering why the repository packages are not maintained. 12.04 is an LTS for 5 years, so I suppose many would stick to it for a longer time. br, vlatko Original Message

Looks like we're missing the point here. I did add the PPAs, and all is OK for me. :-) LTS is a stable release, and yet many other apps get updated regulary, but GHC does not. GHC is not part of the system itself, it's just an app, like many others are. So I

Michael, I see one of my packages is on that list, because of the upper bound on template-haskell. I would love the raise the upper bound, but of course only if it will actually build. Can I download a binary version snapshot GHC 7.8 somewhere so I can test and apply changes accordingly? I
