[bug#36807] remove obsolete broken haskell packages

[Robert Vollmert]

This series removes some outdated packages that don’t build and
aren’t depend on.

[bug#36807] [PATCH] gnu: Remove ghc-regex-tdfa-rc (broken and unused)

[Robert Vollmert]

It doesn't build, has no reverse dependencies, and is deprecated
upstream.

* gnu/packages/haskell.scm (ghc-regex-tdfa-rc): Remove package.

[bug#36807] remove obsolete broken haskell packages

Hi Robert,

I remember that we intended to remove these last year.  Indeed, Ricardo
mentioned it when we were finishing up the upgrade to GHC 8.4:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-09/msg00330.html

Based on that, we could also get rid of “ghc-packedstring” if it doesn’t
have any dependants.

Now for my usual commit message nit-picking.  :)  You should drop the
parenthetical “broken and unused” note and add a period to the end of
the first line, like this:

    gnu: Remove ghc-regex-tdfa-rc.

One of the commits says “It...” and the other says “This package...”.
They might as well be the same.  Lastly, it’s usually “remove variable”
instead of “remove package”.

Other than that, LGTM.  Thanks!  (Do you have commit access now or
should I push these?)

Hi all, Timothy,

I do have commit access now, but for the moment I’m keeping to the
branch wip-haskell-updates.

Thus, I’d ask you (or someone) to merge that (or the parts you deem
appropriate). I’ve incorporated your comments, and removed
ghc-packedstring. In addition, the branch incorporates some other
patchsets:

#36493: updating GHC-included haskell dependencies (this one is already
        in core-updates)
#36562: downgrade ansi-terminal to be compatible with the package set
#36663: adding elm compiler dependencies (just a few extra ghc packages)
#36692: GHC version 8.6.5 (just as a package for now, not used to build
        anything)
#36807: this bug report, removing three deprecated packages
no ticket: Skip tests for three Haskell packages that fail on i686 only
        (and seem harmless): ghc-trifecta, ghc-yaml, ghc-libmpd-haskell.

Cheers
Robert
