Description Aoife Moloney 2025-10-07 17:03:12 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Haskell GHC 9.10 and Stackage 24
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Haskell_GHC_9.10_and_Stackage_24

Update the GHC Haskell compiler from major version 9.8 to 9.10 and Haskell packages from Stackage LTS 23 to LTS 24 versions. It is also intended to drop the building of profiling libraries from Haskell packages (except for ghc itself).

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2026-01-21 13:25:15 UTC

I think I want to slightly walk back the profiling libraries reduction.

Since profiling libraries can be used to generate detailed program (exception) backtraces,
I decided it is actually valuable having the prof libraries still available in Fedora
at least for "tier 1" archs like aarch64 and x86_64 for now.
So while they may not be widely in use, this is actually useful to have available
for debugging errors.

This will still reduce the build burden on slower archs like ppc64le, s390x, and riscv64
and weaker ix86.
