I agree, it's a lot of work and guaranteeing package compatibility is
not straightforward.  To simplify things I would like to suggest to
exploit the work done by Stackage (www.stackage.org) and follow the
latest LTS release.

I prepared a 'stackage' importer.  It looks up the list of packages at
https://www.stackage.org/lts (can select which LTS version), extract the
version used there and downloads that version of the package from
hackage (with the hackage importer).

Two points are open:

(i) I still need to finish the updater (to work with 'refresh').

(ii) The latest LTS still uses GHC 8.0.1.  I'm not sure if this is
because of some real problem (GHC 8.0.2 introduces some
incompatibilities) or if it is because changing things takes time.

I will probably be able to share the importer/updater in one week (don't
have much time to work on it during the week).

Regards,
Fede

I have a WIP branch which contains many haskell package updates and
additions, and makes haskell-build-system use the latest ghc (8.0.2).

https://github.com/pwnage101/guix/tree/add-gitit

It started as a small project to create a Gitit package (hence the name
of the branch), but blew up into something larger.  It's hard work, so I
just wanted to check in with you all to see if this seems like the right
direction.

As of this writing, I have over 66 packages updated, 16 added, and
various fixes on existing packages to get everything buildable against
ghc@8.0.2.  I'm debating whether I should systematically update all the
haskell packages while I'm at it, or just make sure everything is
buildable under 8.0.2.  There are over 277 haskell packages in all.

I wonder how I should send these patches after I'm all done.  git
send-email?  That seems crazy.
