Hi,

should we package ghc 8 in core-updates? It was released in May:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.0.1-released

I'm currently packaging darcs, but I can do the version bump
afterwards.

Probably a good idea.  :-)

This can be done in ‘master’, or, if we change to default GHC, to a
dedicated ‘ghc-update’ branch.

Should this replace current ghc? I don't know how much of our current
(gnu packages haskell) would break.
For example we have this[0] bug for a current package[1] I am working
on.

Solution A would be to go multiversion, keep ghc7 around for all
packages which do not support ghc8 yet.
Solution B is just update the version and see what breaks on hydra build
of all of haskell.

I'll start this with solution B in a master-ghc8 branch to just take a
look at ghc8 build and see if something fails.

It's contraproductive to my haskell work, but I can't figure out at the
moment why darcs fails in the middle of the build.

I was told haskell users expect to use the latest version always.

https://gitlab.com/packaging-guix/guix-haskell8/commit/24262239da96eeabb0840c178ac6c80792e405c5
this is what I have now, still needs to be debugged.

No idea.  I suppose we take this route:

  1. First you test a sample of ghc-* packages and build them to see if
     there’s obvious breakage.

  2. If not, we commit the GHC upgrade in a branch and let Hydra build
     the branch.

  3. We fix package breaks that we notice on the branch.

  4. Merge the branch.

How does that sound?

Dropping this as I need to focus on my bigger projects.
I realize this is better for our in-house haskell experts to pick up and
solve. Feel free to apply and use. If this no longer applies to master
(this is a branch which does not yet include the 1000+ new lines to
haskell.scm), I can send a rebased copy of the patches.
