I now have a working 7.10.3 package, with patches to have proper rpaths in the resulting binaries. However I cannot provide it in 2015Q4, as the GHC developers decided to change the file contents of packages, resulting in PLIST failures: https://gist.github.com/jperkin/a60351501c6d6090c1fa This is going to require a lot more work, and basically involve touching every hs-* package we provide in pkgsrc after we decide how to handle this cleanly for multiple GHC versions. If you have any ideas on how to turn this change off, that might be useful for 2015Q4, otherwise it's likely this won't happen until 2016Q1.
