Many of those ghc-* packages are deprecated and abandoned libraries. I have commits prepared to remove some of them but have not submitted them yet since they may be needed by other packages until haskell-team is merged. The rest seem to be easy fixes but I am still waiting for builds to catch up to yesterday's ghc fixes. > In case this page disappears as other branches become active, here is > one example: > > https://data.qa.guix.gnu.org/gnu/store/i48030qa0y82mrlklry12kn9akmpnglf-ghc-highlighting-kate-0.6.4.drv > > https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/build/18649055-f72c-415c-8078-2a39842844c7/log This is one example of those. Highlighting-kate has been deprecated in favor of skylighting since 2020 (https://github.com/jgm/highlighting-kate). > I wonder whether we should for the time being limit the scope of the > branch to the addition of new GHC versions, getting them all to build > also on aarch64, and reserve the bump to a new default version for the > next iteration? I don't think so. The new GHC versions are not all that useful without any libraries to use with them. I also believe the branch is now finally really close to being ready. - Saku
