Hi there,

Please note that the next version of the Haskell Platform is just
released [1], and we are also preparing a major update for the FreeBSD
Ports Collection as well.  This also updates the Glasgow Haskell
Compiler to 7.6.3 [2] together with all the Haskell (hs-) ports to use
this.

The update is in our development repository [3].  We are planning to
commit this around beginning of next week if nothing critical shows up
during the testing.

You can test the upcoming changes easily as we are offering packages
in our custom pkg(8) repository:

  http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/packages/

There you can find binary packages for FreeBSD 8.x (8.3 or later), 9.x
(9.1 or later), and 10.x (May 27, 2013 or later) for both i386 and
amd64 architectures.  They can be used with pkg(8) in the following
way:

# env PACKAGESITE=http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/packages/freebsd:$major:x86:$arch/latest/
pkg upgrade

where `major` is in {8,9,10} and `arch` is in {32,64}.

Note that some of the packages for 10.x is missing due to build
failures of some of the dependencies.  If you want to experiment with
the ports themselves instead, you shall use portshaker(8) as described
at the GitHub page of our development repository [4].

Please send comments or submit bug reports directly to haskell@freebsd.org.

Thanks,
Gabor
