We ought to be ashamed, Debian unstable now has GHC 7.4.1! ;) http://packages.debian.org/sid/ghc

In the meantime I've put together a repo with GHC 7.4.1 (x86_64 only) and a few packages: http://is.gd/L7ZBQC

I will be working with vega in around 2 weeks to update ghc and cleaning up the haskell pkgs. I'm not working on it right now because I'm currently focusing on cleaning up our ruby package and guidelines. Vega is working on a tool to help us with the update.

If you really need ghc 7.4.1, I have a preliminary package for ghc at http://pkgbuild.com/~td123/ghc.tar Binaries are available under http://pkgbuild.com/~td123/ Note this is completely unsupported and should be only used if you know what you're doing. Not specifically saying this to you, but other people that come across reading this :)

I've made some changes to that package (in particular adding a patch that makes installation of packages *a lot* less verbose). Please consider grabbing it out of my git repo. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus
