Hi,

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 :)
