Detailed Description
The Haskell Platform is the official recommended set of basic libraries and tools for Haskell development.
A new stable Haskell Platform release was made in December supporting ghc-7.0.4 and updating 10 platform libraries. About 60 packages in Fedora need to be rebuilt for this.
Benefit to Fedora
Makes sure that Fedora is up-to-date with Haskell library versions so that users developing with Haskell on Fedora will have the latest stable Haskell Platform available to them.
