Though note that the corresponding ports can be only found at our GitHub repository for now: https://github.com/freebsd-haskell/freebsd-haskell/ In order to use the ports from this repository, you will have to install and configure portshaker(8). For further details, see the README file in the repository. After merging the ports trees, Haskell Platform can be installed by the following command: # cd /usr/ports/devel/hs-haskell-platform/ && make install clean or updated in the conventional way, e.g. by portmaster(8) (together with other Haskell ports): # portmaster -r ghc They are published this way, because the FreeBSD Ports Collection is only partially thawed (large-scale changes, like updating core Haskell packages or GHC, are still not allowed) due to the on-going release cycle for FreeBSD 9.0. On behalf of the FreeBSD Haskell Team, Gabor
