Gentoo supports the Haskell Platform!
Masking and Unmasking
As of this writing the Gentoo ebuilds for Haskell Platform are no longer hard masked, which means unmasking them is no longer needed. However, on 64 bit systems the ebuilds is not stable yet, so they need to be enabled by adding these entries to /etc/portage/package.keywords

Furthermore, because the ebuild for haskell-platform (dev-haskell/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2) uses the old version of ghc (dev-lang/ghc-6.10.4), it will conflict with newer ebuilds that use newer versions such as ghc-6.12.3. In order to resolve this conflict the newer ebuilds that uses ghc-6.12.3 need to be masked by adding these entries to /etc/portage/package.mask
=dev-lang/ghc-6.12.3 =app-admin/haskell-updater-1.1.3.0 =dev-haskell/stm-2.1.2.2 =dev-haskell/haddock-2.6.1
Install
Now, to install, run:
emerge haskell-platform
This will pull the GHC compiler, Cabal, and all the libraries included in HP. If you want haddock documentation, set your USE="doc". If you also want profiling libraries, set USE="profile".
Feedback
Got any feedback for the packages above? Let us know!
You'll find us in #gentoo-haskell @ freenode, or send your comments to haskell@gentoo.org.
