ghc-7.6.3 and haskell-platform-2013.2 are in git and I am slowly
working through all 200+ packages updating them to latest releases
(where appropriate/possible) and building them locally to test.
I think I have finished updating all packages to the new
approved templates in git master branches. There is no
urgency/need to backport the changes at this point.
Once it is all ready I will push it all to Rawhide with my rebuild
script for koji.
There are a few remaining build failures with ghc-7.6.3:
ForSyde
happstack-server
ghc-hledger-lib (hledger)
cab
cabal-dev
leksah-server (leksah)
also git-annex needs to be bumped but that needs some additional new deps.
Any help with those would be appreciated.
I have submitted extensible-exceptions which was dropped from ghc-7.6
and Shakthi has kindly taken the review. Once that is ready I hope
to start building shortly in rawhide.
