I'd like some > introductory guidance/resources to learn that. There should not be a difference with packages for other languages. As far as I know, however, ghc is annoying to bootstrap, and we need at least the latest x.y.z version to continue to x.(y+2). > The same is true for rustc, the latest stable release is not updated.
