Update Haskell ecosystem in Tumbleweed to GHC-9.10.x

Updated 5 months ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 2 followers.

Description

We are currently at GHC-9.8.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.10.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again.

Goals

Have working builds of GHC-9.10.x and the required Haskell packages in 'devel:languages:haskell` so that we can compile:

  • git-annex
  • pandoc
  • xmonad
  • cabal-install

Resources

  • http://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:haskell/
  • http://github.com/opensuse-haskell/configuration/
  • #discuss-haskell

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      We are down to 3 trivial build errors that upstream is aware of already and fixes are underway. Once these fixes arrive, we can merge the package set into Tumbleweed.
