Hi Danylo,<br>
<br>
I have 7.6.3 already, but I was wondering why the repository
packages are not maintained.<br>
12.04 is an LTS for 5 years, so I suppose many would stick to it for
a longer time.<br>

Hi vlatko,<br>
<br>
New versions of GHC are available in newer versions of Ubuntu
(12.10, 13.04 etc.). I recommend you to download, build and
install Haskell-platform from sources.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

<pre>Hi Caffe,
deb packages of GHC (and Haskell Platform) in Ubuntu's (LTS Precise, 12.04)
"universe" are not upgrading at all.
GHC package is almost two years old, still on version 7.4.1, and GHC site still
recommends to use Haskell Platform from repository.
Even kernel is upgrading more often, and one would expect it is much more
difficult. :-)
What would be the reason for that?
Is it abandoned?
Best regards,
vlatko
