Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-14846
2011-10-24 22:38:29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ghc
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 7.0.2
Release : 16.8.fc15
URL : http://haskell.org/ghc/
Summary : Glasgow Haskell Compiler
Description :
GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment
for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:
- GHC supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus various extensions.
- GHC has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism,
including support for Software Transactional Memory (STM).
- GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs
(check the results on the "Computer Language Benchmarks Game").
- GHC works on several platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux,
most varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures.
- GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities,
including inter-module optimisation.
- GHC compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM
as a back-end. GHC can also generate C code as an intermediate target for
porting to new platforms. The interactive environment compiles Haskell to
bytecode, and supports execution of mixed bytecode/compiled programs.
- Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and heap profiling.
- GHC comes with core libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
- Base package now installs all of ghc, including new ghc-compiler and ghc-libraries
subpackages
- Add HaskellReport license tag to subpackages with Haskell Report code
- Support armv5tel arch (Henrik Nordström)
- Dependency autogeneration for bootstrap builds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Sat Nov 12 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.8
- build with ghc-rpm-macros-0.14 for ghc-compiler
* Fri Nov 11 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.7
- move ghc-doc and ghc-libs obsoletes
- the post and postun scripts are now for the compiler subpackage
- rename ghc-devel metapackage to ghc-libraries
- move compiler and tools to ghc-compiler
- the ghc base package is now a metapackage that installs all of ghc,
ie ghc-compiler and ghc-devel (#750317)
- add HaskellReport license tag to some of the library subpackages
which contain some code from the Haskell Reports
* Mon Oct 24 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.6
- setup ghc-deps.sh after ghc_version_override for bootstrapping
- add armv5tel (ported by Henrik Nordström)
- use ghc_arches
- also use ghc-deps.sh when bootstrapping (ghc-rpm-macros-0.13.13)
- include the ghc (ghci) library in ghc-devel (Narasim)
* Fri Sep 30 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.5
- build with ghc-rpm-macros >= 0.13.11 to fix provides and obsoletes versions
in library devel subpackages
- no need to specify -lffi in build.mk (Henrik Nordström)
* Wed Sep 28 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.4
- port to armv7hl by Henrik Nordström (#741725)
- setup dependency generation with ghc-deps.sh since it was moved to
ghc_lib_install in ghc-rpm-macros
- BR same ghc version unless ghc_bootstrapping defined
- add libffi_archs
- drop the quick build profile
- put dyn before p in GhcLibWays
- explain new bootstrapping mode using ghc_bootstrap (ghc-rpm-macros-0.13.5)
- update summary and description
- merge prof subpackages into the devel subpackages with ghc-rpm-macros-0.13
* Sat May 21 2011 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.3
- obsolete dph libraries and feldspar-language
- configure with /usr/bin/gcc to help bootstrapping to new archs
(otherwise ccache tends to get hardcoded as gcc, which not in koji)
- posttrans scriplet for ghc_pkg_recache is redundant
- make devel and prof meta packages require libs with release
- make ghc-*-devel subpackages require ghc with release
* Sun May 1 2011 Jiri Skala <jskala(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.2
- fixes path to gcc on ppc64 arch
* Tue Apr 26 2011 Jiri Skala <jskala(a)redhat.com> - 7.0.2-16.1
- bootstrap to ppc64
- upstream ghc-powerpc-linker-mmap.patch for ppc64
