Fellow Haskell hackers, Stackage LTS 8.0 has been released and we have created the corresponding https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:haskell:lts:8 project. That project is our new source of packages for openSUSE:Factory (via devel:languages:haskell, the official development project), which means that quite a few updates will materialize in Tumbleweed soon -- the most obvious one being GHC version 8.0.2, of course. Updating to LTS 8.0 is not going to be smooth sailing all the way, though, because there is an impressive list of packages that have been dropped from LTS 8.x compared to our current state in d:l:h: - angel - apply-refact - bustle - cabal-sort - cabal-src - derive - find-clumpiness - ghc-api-field-json-th - ghc-atndapi - ghc-aws - ghc-bitcoin-api-extra - ghc-bitcoin-api - ghc-bitcoin-payment-channel - ghc-chell-quickcheck - ghc-compdata - ghc-concatenative - ghc-concurrent-extra - ghc-continued-fractions - ghc-converge - ghc-dbus - ghc-dependent-sum-template - ghc-doctest-prop - ghc-docvim - ghc-explicit-exception - ghc-extract-dependencies - ghc-fb - ghc-FindBin - ghc-forecast-io - ghc-freer - ghc-gamma - ghc-genvalidity - ghc-genvalidity-hspec - ghc-gl - ghc-haddock-api - ghc-hashable-extras - ghc-haskoin-core - ghc-hbayes - ghc-hgettext - ghc-hpack-convert - ghc-hprotoc - ghc-hspec-contrib - ghc-hspec-jenkins - ghc-httpd-shed - ghc-hworker-ses - ghc-json-autotype - ghc-libxml-sax - ghc-load-env - ghc-ltext - ghc-murmur3 - ghc-mustache - ghc-network-uri-flag - ghc-package-description-remote - ghc-pbkdf - ghc-pcap - ghc-pipes-aeson - ghc-pipes-bgzf - ghc-pipes-cliff - ghc-pipes-fastx - ghc-pipes-http - ghc-pipes-illumina - ghc-pipes-network - ghc-postgresql-query - ghc-quantum-random - ghc-quickcheck-combinators - ghc-quickcheck-properties - ghc-rosezipper - ghc-scrape-changes - ghc-secp256k1 - ghc-shelly - ghc-show-type - ghc-smsaero - ghc-store-core - ghc-store - ghc-stripe-core - ghc-th-printf - ghc-th-utilities - ghc-tree-view - ghc-tries - ghc-twitter-conduit - ghc-twitter-types - ghc-twitter-types-lens - ghc-unfoldable - ghc-unfoldable-restricted - ghc-unit-constraint - ghc-validation - ghc-validity - ghc-wai-predicates - ghc-wai-request-spec - ghc-wreq - ghc-yarr - ghc-yesod-auth-oauth2 - ghc-yesod-fb - ghc-yesod-job-queue - ghc-zoom-refs - git-fmt - hackage-mirror - hackage-whatsnew - hackmanager - handwriting - HaRe - homplexity - hspec-setup - idris - moesocks - omnifmt - postgresql-schema - purescript - stackage-curator - stack-run-auto - stack - werewolf-slack - werewolf - yi I'm particularly baffled that the Stackage folk would make an LTS release that cannot build "stack"! I'll try to remedy that issue, i.e. we'll certainly continue to distribute that package. As far as the others are concerned, the default choice is to drop them. So of there is any package on that list which you desperately need for your work, please speak up and let us know.
