[Slackbuilds-users] Haskell stuff

[David Spencer]

Hi everybody,

The SBo Haskell packages provide everything in Haskell Platform 7.10.3,
but that is almost 3 years old now, and is due an update.

So I've made a 'haskell-review' branch in our git repository that
updates everything and adds new packages, to align us with Haskell
Platform 8.4.3 and Stack 1.7.1. [1]

Andrew, Azure, and Christoph: there are updates in that branch for your
SlackBuilds: haskell-ShellCheck, haskell-clock, haskell-composition,
haskell-env-locale and hscolour. I hope those updates are ok.

If anybody who understands Haskell better than me can maintain this in
the future (please!), or if anybody wants to test it and has feedback
about it, you'll be very welcome :)

Cheers
-D.

Thanks for this David. I’ve had haskell-ShellCheck ready to go for a
while but was blocked by an "official" update to haskell-aeson. I wrote
to Mikko with a patch a few weeks back with no response, so his
slackbuilds seem abandoned (last commit 24 Feb 2015).
