Jens, what is the status here? Will this happen for F42?

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2025-03-07 11:49:20 UTC

(Oops, thought I had already replied - I probably didn't press Save...)

It is looking less, though there is still a possible chance I could finish it before the final freeze perhaps...

Sorry "less likely"

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2025-04-01 12:38:26 UTC

I have made some progress (in a sidetag), however I am running into compilation problems on i686 with ghc-9.8.4.
It seems like those problems don't exist for ghc9.10+, though arguably it could also be an opportunity to drop 32bit Haskell...
I am a little conflicted: it might affect some packages using pandoc in their builds for instance.

Ironically the problem I seem to be running into should be have been fixed in 9.8.4, but perhaps not completely?
I have opened https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/25904

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2025-04-11 03:53:42 UTC

More progress in my rawhide sidetag, but moved to F43 now...

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2025-04-11 03:58:01 UTC

Though there is a reasonable chance, time allowing that F43 will actually ship ghc-9.10

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2025-04-11 04:01:34 UTC

However depending on the final result for Rawhide, I may still backport 9.8 to Fedora 42 perhaps.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2025-04-13 03:10:50 UTC

Pushed to Rawhide in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-8c24ced850

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2025-04-21 06:56:36 UTC

This has been in Rawhide for about a week now.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2025-05-06 08:07:52 UTC

For rawhide I have also retired:

- ghc-aeson-compat
- ghc-fclabels
- ghc-system-fileio
