Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0 plans

Hi,

Ok over the weekend I worked on testing haskell-platform-2012.2
with our Fedora packages.  The biggest changes are the major bumps
in mtl and transformers which affected quite a lot of packages.
After updating and patching various packages they now all rebuild
successfully for me locally at least.

Also ghc-7.4.2 was just released but I am still holding off on it.
I had some discussion with Dag on it on irc last week and he suggested
waiting for the Haskell Platform 2012.4 release before moving to 7.4.2
for stability/consistency reasons.  In this regard I started a thread
on the Platform list about adjusting the schedule to better line up
with the Ubuntu and Fedora time-based release schedules.
Anyway if the 2012.4 schedule does not change it is going to be
tough to rebase to ghc-7.4.2 after release - alternatively
we could ship a patched haskell-platform-2012 and then maybe update
to the final 2012.4 release after F18 is released.

Anyway if others have opinions on this I would be interested to hear them.


For now anyway I would like to ask for your help with updating or bumping
your packages in git for rebuilding against haskell-platform-2012.2.
But please _don't build_ them yet before haskell-platform-2012.2
goes into rawhide!  Otherwise I will do it while working on the rebuilding.
If I already touched your package in the last few days - then no need to do anything.
Please be sure to "git pull" first to avoid any duplicate work.
I think below is the list of packages that I had to rebuild locally:
packages not included in the list are probably not affected by HP
and you can build them yourself if you wish as normal.  (The version
numbers can be ignored but indicate what I built locally.)

Thanks if you are able to help with this soon for rebuilding
against the new haskell-platform release.

Jens
