Read the ChangeLog for dev-lang/ghc; 17 Apr 2009; Lennart Kolmodin <kolmodin@gentoo.org> +ghc-6.8.2-r1.ebuild: Add a restricted version of ghc 6.8.2 (-r1), but that can handle >=sys-libs/readline-6. Previous ghc versions depends on =readline-5, which gives problems now that readline-6 is in the tree. To allow other readline versions we have bundled a precompiled readline-5 package, making the ghc bootstrap process work. Thus, this also forced us to remove the USE=binary flag. See bug #259867. And also, why not use ghc-6.10.4? Except for still being keyworded, it is better in every other way. And wait two days for it to install? I'd rather remove ghc and darcs. If you absolutely want to, ghc-6.10.4 supports USE=binary. So far we've got binaries for x86, amd64, sparc and ppc64. |
