--- Comment #2 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- I have done scratch bootstrap test builds of 7.6.2 for intel and arm:

x86_64: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4921062 i686: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4921063 armv7: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1412219

I put the "bootstrap" srpm at http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-7.6/ghc-7.6.2-11.fc19.src.rpm [106MB] which if built with http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-7.6/ghc-rpm-macros-0.976.5-1.fc19.src.r... should generate correct rpm dependencies with ghc-pkg-7.6.

The next Haskell Platform release is due in May (http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/ReleaseTimetable) which will surely too late for F19.

--- Comment #7 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- I am thinking about backporting after:

- building for f20 rawhide and - after F19 GA (final) release

but it is quite some work to do it and we haven't done a ghc backport in a long time. So I don't want to raise expectations too high and I will just say "maybe" for now.

Most of the preparation for F20 ghc-7.6.3 has been done now, but nothing is built yet in the buildsystem.

In the meantime you could try my test repo for f19:

--- Comment #8 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Built for F20 rawhide.

--- Comment #10 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Well I would like to but main problem is finding time to do that...

Can people say more about why they need 7.6.3 now? (Personally I am managing okay with 7.4.2 in F19.)

--- Comment #12 from Andrew Cowie andrew@operationaldynamics.com --- Speaking for myself, I need the profiling fixes Simon made that cause IDLE time not to be costed. From a programming perspective, the move of `catch` out of Prelude is an annoyance and we decided just to declare < 7.6 a loss and move on. Far more importantly, however, is that the RTS performance is dramatically better for webserver class workloads.
