And to follow up with a few more details: there were a handful of Haskell packages that couldn't build with LTS 18 due to library API changes:
- idris (due to haskeline ; this is probably the most painful one - though it would be good to move to idris2 soon, but not that easy to package alas)
- I may look later at whether a backport patch or moving to a git snapshot is possible.
- ghc-codec-rpm and ghc-cpio-conduit (due to base16): I am planning to retire these if no objections
- ghc-chalmers-lava2000 (due to random): will also be retired I think
- (pandoc-citeproc is replaced by citeproc support in pandoc itself)
Everything else
built (over 600 src packages now).
Happy to answer any questions: also I pushed cabal-rpm-2.0.10 to Bodhi.
Enjoy,
Jens
ps I think my biggest takeaway is that we should move to rpmautospec: rebasing after the mass rebuilds is hell...
pps ghc-8.10.6 was just released but I don't think it has that much change for Linux (our ghc already has the RTS symbol fix).
