Do we have enough Haskell now for it to have it's own category?
Python and other languages have their own category and it makes
it easier for folks like me to "browse the haskell library" of darwinports.
That is unless we can get some kind of decent query system in Darwinports
for finding out what's available. I think a good enough query system would
make most categories somewhat superfluous.

Hi,
Due to overwhelming popular demand (well, Sven asked), darwinports
now includes a port 'lang/ghc-devel', which builds from the head of the cvs.
The default build includes support for openGL, so this is a way to get
the latest OpenGL support for ghc, which now supports almost all of version 1.5.
The ghc-devel port installs as ghc-6.3. (All of the executables have the "-6.3"
suffix, so you can install ghc and ghc-devel without conflict. You invoke the
new compiler as ghc-6.3 and the interactive environment as ghci-6.3.)
ghc-devel depends on ghc, alex and happy, so if you have none of these installed and say
sudo port install ghc-devel
you'll get a full bootstrap build of the released version of ghc, along with
builds of alex and happy (the lexer and parser generators, respectively),
followed by a build of ghc from cvs. This may take some time (about 10 hours
on an 800 MHz G4), but what would you rather have your CPU doing?
Best Wishes, Greg
