KaarPux Package: haskell-platform

The Haskell Platform is the easiest way to get started with programming Haskell. It comes with all you need to get up and running. Think of it as ‘Haskell: batteries included’.

This package version needs to be in sync with KaarPux Package: ghc. See Haskell Platform for Linux.

We are not really installing this package, because it introduces a cyclic dependency: Building haskell-platform requires Cabal, which is installed by haskell-platform.

Instead we are installing the individual modules, with the versions specified by the pkg_haskell-platform.
