[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] GHCi on ppc64el

[Fernando Seiti Furusato]

Hello sirs.

As I understand by [1] there are plans to upgrade GHC after the freeze, is that
correct?

Additionally, is ghci going to be enabled for ppc64el? I believe it currently
works -- I have just built and installed v7.8.4 from source, downloaded at [2]
and it seems to be working fine.

I ask because it is currently blocking some packages on ppc64el which depend on
ghci.

Thank you in advance.
