Is it possible to get the Haskell-Platform updated to a more recent version ? Debian has got the 2014 version on all releases. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to do something about this please ?

Knowing nothing about Haskell, I'd do: charles@hawk:~$ apt-cache show haskell-platform Package: haskell-platform Version: 2014.2.0.0.debian8 Installed-Size: 12 Maintainer: Debian Haskell Group <pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: all .... Homepage: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ .... You might ask the Debian Haskell Group and check the home page to see if there are more recent versions (I have no idea). You might also file a bug against the haskell-platform package. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

There are some folks over at reddit, too, if that's anyone's thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/ Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *

So you go and look at https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/haskell-platform and look at Bug Reports over on the right. and it only has one bug! Which is pretty amazing. It's a request from June 2020 to upgrade to a newer version. There are no replies, but there is a link to the maintainers' email list. You probably want https://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/2022/01/threads.html to look at recent threads. A quick perusal suggests that upgrades are blocked on ghc, which has been failing on the mipsel architecture due to running out of memory... and the latest versions may solve that. So there's some hope that that team will package a new version of the haskell platform soonish. In the meantime, if it's important to you, you might need to build your own. -dsr-

Are you sure you want to use haskell-platform? The latest upstream version, whilst newer than Debian's copy, is also several years old (May 2019). I don't think it has been formally abandoned or deprecated but I don't think anyone is really working on it anymore. The upstream homepage used to be https://www.haskell.org/platform/, which now redirects to https://www.haskell.org/downloads/, which no longer mentions Haskell Platform at all. What to recommend instead depends on exactly what you are trying to do. If you are trying to develop a Haskell program I would recommend using "stack", which is available in the Debian package haskell-stack. Using stack means downloading all the Haskell packages you use from outside of Debian. There are other options. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net

By coincidence the topic of Haskell Platform came up on Reddit: <https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/sgx9ze/is_haskell_platform_no_longer_supported/> It's Dead, Jim! I think we should probably remove it from Debian to avoid further confusion. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
