As you know I'm not a complete noob/newbie/newstarter when Linux and Mageia is concerned.
I know that when Mageia forked from Mandriva the devs decided NOT to port GHC to Mageia which is understandable.
However, I've been starting to port GHC and its dependencies to Mageia 9 using GHCUP which according to the research I've done is the least difficult way.
So far I've managed to build ghc-bootstrap-helpers and ghc-bootstrap from OpenSuse, but that won't solve the problem of packaging GHC.
I wrote an email to the discuss mailinglist the steps that I've taken so far and my problem.
No matter what Cabal HLS and GHC version I use in GHCUP together with the same version of ghc source archive it fails to build.
I even git cloned the same version of GHC and tried to build it, but that also failed.
Is there anybody that can assist me so that we can package at least 9.4.7 of GHC?
