Description Klaus Ethgen 2018-11-09 01:03:32 UTC
The version of dev-haskell/text has to be the same as build in into ghc.

Currently I stumbled over a version mismatch between ghc-8.4.3 (from haskell overlay) and
dev-haskell/text-1.2.3.1. The version bundled in ghc is 1.2.3.0.

When ghc and dev-haskell/text does not match, packages use _both_ versions and fail to compile
badly.

Combinations that I seen is:
ghc-8.4.3: dev-haskell/text-1.2.3.0
ghc-8.4.4: dev-haskell/text-1.2.3.1

The same is valid for the versions in main gentoo repo.

That's correct. We'll need to fix eclass to enforce that match.
