* Fri Apr 07 2023 Ondřej Súkup
* add provides hsc2hs into ghc-compiler
* Fri Mar 17 2023 Ondřej Súkup - build with hadrian- reintroduced profiling packages- added man pages: ghc-pkg.man haddock.man runghc.man- added 9_2_3-bootstrap-sources.tar.gz as hadrian deps- refreshed patches:
* fix_extlinks.patch
* Disable-unboxed-arrays.patch
* ghc-8.0.2-Cabal-dynlibdir.patch
* ghc-pie.patch- removed patches:
* ghc-armv7-VFPv3D16--NEON.patch
* buildpath-abi-stability.patch- added patches:
* ghc-gen_contents_index-haddock-path.patch
* ghc-Cabal-install-PATH-warning.patch
* execstack.patch
* libatomic.patch
* riscv-tntc.patch
* ghc-hadrian-s390x-rts--qg.patch
* Tue Jan 31 2023 Peter Simons - Update to GHC version 9.4.4.
* %{buildroot}%{ghclibdir}/include is apparently no longer used by the RTS package. Those files now live in /usr/lib64/ghc-9.4.4/rts/include.
* find %{buildroot}%{ghc_html_libraries_dir} -name LICENSE -exec rm \'{}\' \';\' no longer works because the directory doesn\'t exist at the time that command is run.
* The user manual and Haddock documentation is installed into a different location. For now, we just list the catchall %{_docdir}/packages/ghc to accept anything.
* The LICENSE file for Cabal-syntax lives at libraries/Cabal/Cabal-syntax instead of the expected place libraries/Cabal-syntax.
* The package system-cxx-std-lib has no LICENSE file. It\'s not even a proper package, it\'s just a configuration file that lists some compiler and linker flags. To work around the build error that causes, we just copy some random LICENSE file into the place where our build would expect it.
* Thu Jan 19 2023 Guillaume GARDET - Do not require unversionned llvm since ghc needs a specific llvm version. [boo#1207265]
* Tue Jan 17 2023 Peter Simons - Apply \"fix_extlinks.patch\" to work around a bug in Sphinx 6.1.x that broke our documentation build. Remove this patch once Sphinx is fixed. This patch is a variant of the ghc-9.4.4 patch from https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22766. Upstream\'s https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/11094 has further details. [boo#1207214]
* Fri Jul 08 2022 Andreas Schwab - execstack.patch: add missing stack note
* Mon Jun 27 2022 Dirk Müller - add ghc.keyring to have source validation enabled- limit to use llvm12 for Factory as newer versions are not supported
* Fri Apr 29 2022 Martin Liška - Remove dependency on binutils-gold as the package will be removed in the future. Gold linker is unmaintained by the upstream project.
* Tue Mar 08 2022 Dirk Müller - add ghc-armv7-VFPv3D16--NEON.patch to use vfpv3-d16 on armv7hl
* Wed Feb 09 2022 Peter Simons - add environ.patch to fix build errors with recent gcc
* Fri Sep 03 2021 Ondřej Súkup - update to 8.10.7- drop 4134.patch and refresh ghc-pie.patch
* portabilit yfixes
* Export some RTS symbols required for static builds of GHC
* Fix LLVM version checking logic so it no longer complains about supported LLVM versions.
* Fix some RTS crashes on Darwin due to mixing up the closure sizes of the aarch64 and x86-64 backends.
* Fix a crash on the non-moving GC due to incorrect logic for calculating the header size for array write barries
* Fix a bug in base leading to a high likelihood of space leaks when using lazy bytestrings
* Fix some timer races in the RTS possibly manifesting in #18033 and #20132
* Fix a number of bugs affecting the RTS m32 allocator

* Fix a bug where the linker may during shutdown unload code before libraries’ atexit handlers have a chance to run
* Improve code layout by distiguishing conditional and unconditional branches
* Add hs-boot file support for -ddump-minimal-imports
* Ensure hs-boot files are built before source files in GHCs -M mode
* Fix a long standing GHC API bug affecting clients like HLS where async exceptions used to cancel threads during typechecking would be caught by the Template Haskell evaluator and reported as compile errors
* Improve error messages when looking up packages fails
* Fix a number of quirks in GC accounting
* Fix a code generation bug which could result in entry of unlifted objects in some programs using unboxed sums
* Ensure that POSIX signals are not delivered to the ticker thread when using the pthread itimer implementation.

* Bump containers to 0.6.4.1
* Do not treat -Winferred-safe-imports warnings as errors.
* Fix a bug where typechecker plugins could be run with an inconsistent typechecker environment
* Fix a simplifier bug which lead to an exponential blow up and excessive memory usage in certain cases
* Fri Jun 25 2021 Ondřej Súkup - add 4134.patch to fix build with Sphinx4
* Mon Mar 15 2021 Dirk Müller - always build against llvm9, also on SLE15 (suse_version == 1500) otherwise the resulting build is not working (llvm is 7.x there) (bsc#1181571)
* Tue Feb 09 2021 Ondřej Súkup - update to 8.10.4
* Fix a crash caused by inappropriate garbage of heap-allocated data reachable from foreign exports
