[Freebsd-haskell] Deadlines

[Jacula Modyun]

Hi all,

it was a long time after my last email, but I was going through the
Gorgoroth of my tests, and now I see the Sun.

I'm working at the integration of ghc-6.10.1 into the bsd.haskell.mk, and
I think that all this will be ready on the 28th February.

I don't know <(:{?} I'll have to check the haskell port situation, and I'll do
it; but, at this moment, I think that, perhaps, it's not worth splitting GHC
port. If some software isn't lined up the last version of ghc, it's better, for
me, to brand it as broken; there is too much alfa/beta software around the Haskell
world and the mark 6.10 is a good boundary.
