Re: Fedora rawhide compose report: 20170228.n.0 changes

Hi,

ghc-8.0.2 went into F26/Rawhide yesterday!

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.0

There is still some minor clean-up ongoing to fix some remaining breakage:

I am planning to retire Agda for F26+ unless someone wants to help
maintain it but the amount of missing dependencies is growing.
I want to set up a Copr repo to replace it.

I have been planning to retire this anyway since F25.  It could
potentially go into Copr too.

These two fail to build with ghc8

These have all been built now in f26.

Recent versions that build with ghc8 needs a lot of addition deps, so
we may have to retire this package for F26+ unless we can progress the
reviews of the https stack.

This package is basically deprecated now - I am planning to retire it for F26.

This needs a little work to build with ghc8.
I can help with that if needed - let me start by filing a Fedora bug
as a heads-up.

Thanks, Jens
