As a follow-up on the whole GHC vs. LLVM (and thus Pandoc) topic: In the past, we packaged a subset of GHC and Haskell ports that did not match the versions in haskell-platform. Feedback back then was that we should stay with the haskell platform, so we did. For this reason, I cannot simply update GHC without updating haskell-platform (unless we want to re-visit this decision). I have the update of GHC and the platform ports to version 8.0.1 [1] done, expect for stack [2]. Haskell Platform without Stack seems less useful, since Stack is supposed to become a de-facto dev environment management tool, if I understand things correctly. Unfortunately, stack has a gazillion dependencies we haven't packaged yet, at which point it makes little sense for me to attempt to write all those Portfiles by hand. So either: - a group of people splits the work - generation of haskell portfiles needs to be automated I'd welcome help with both. Let me know if you know a Haskell or two and want to help out with the latter.
