[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#620009: haskell-platform: New upstream release 2011.2.0.0 available (version bump)

[Keshav Kini]

Package: haskell-platform
Severity: wishlist

A new version of the Haskell Platform is available at
http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ , specifically version 2011.2.0.0,
released this month. It includes GHC 7.x, which breaks compatibility
with GHC 6.x, so it may be necessary to use a ghc7 metapackage
(?) Some discussion has occurred at Ubuntu bug #711366 (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-platform/+bug/711366
).

Incidentally, version 2010.2.0.0 was released last year as well but
doesn't seem to have made it into Debian. (?)
