== Summary == The GHC Haskell compiler will be updated from major version 8.10 to 9.0, and Haskell packages will be updated from Stackage LTS 18 to LTS 19 versions. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Petersen|Jens Petersen]] * Email: peter...@redhat.com * Name: [[Haskell_SIG|Haskell SIG]] * Email: hask...@lists.fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == For Fedora 37, the GHC Haskell compiler will be updated from version 8.10.5 to the latest stable 9.0.2 release (rebasing from the ghc9.0 package). Along with this, Haskell packages in [https://www.stackage.org Stackage] (the stable Haskell source package distribution) will be updated from the versions in LTS 18 to latest LTS 19 release. Haskell packages not in Stackage will be updated to the latest appropriate version in the upstream [https://hackage.haskell.org Hackage] package repository. == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora users will have the latest stable Haskell compiler release, package tools, and current Haskell packages from Stackage LTS. GHC 9.0 is first major release of the GHC 9 series and features performance improvements, new language extension features (in particular Linear types support), and bugfixes (see the release notes linked in the Documentation section for more details). == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** update ghc8.10 is build against itself ** rebase ghc to 9.0.2 ** update ghc-rpm-macros to the final version for F37 ** refresh packagings with the latest cabal-rpm release ** update packages to latest [https://www.stackage.org/lts-19 Stackage LTS 19] versions using cabal-rpm ** build all the packages in a Koji sidetag repo in dependency order using fbrnch ** push the sidetag through Bodhi to Rawhide before the mass rebuild * Other developers: no actions should be needed <!-- * Release engineering: * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Any dropped packages will have obsoletes added. Otherwise there should not be any direct upgrade impact. Users' Haskell projects will get built with ghc-9.0 when they next build them and might need some minor code tweaks. == How To Test == * install ghc and cabal-install * install pandoc, ShellCheck, ghcid, git-annex, hadolint, stack, xmonad * install ghc-*-devel or ghc-*-prof or ghc-*-doc * cabal-rpm builddep <favouritepackage>; cabal install <favouritepackage> * test upgrades of F36 Haskell packages to F37 == User Experience == Users will have the most recent stable major version of `ghc` and Haskell libraries and tools available to them. This makes it easier to build the latest versions of Haskell projects. In particular `cabal-install` will also be updated from 3.2 to 3.4. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Change owner will drop the new builds and revert back to the versions in F36. * Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Documentation == * https://www.haskell.org/ghc/blog/20210204-ghc-9.0.1-released.html * https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.0.2/docs/html/users_guide/9.0.1-notes.html * https://www.haskell.org/ghc/blog/20211225-ghc-9.0.2-released.html * https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.0.2/docs/html/users_guide/9.0.2-notes.html == Release Notes == The Haskell GHC compiler has been updated from 8.10.5 to 9.0.2 with many improvements. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
