There's going to be some issues upgrading

aeson >=0.7.0.5 && <0.10,
cmark >=0.4.0.1 && <0.5,
filemanip ==0.3.*,
haddock-library >=1.1 && <1.3,
highlighting-kate ==0.6.*,
texmath >=0.8.1 && <0.9,
zip-archive >=0.2.3.4 && <0.3

Yes, IIRC those are exactly the reasons why I didn't upgrade it yet -- in the end, some of those pull in a newer version of hs-text, but we ship the versions that are in the Haskell Platform for these ports, and Haskell Platform hasn't been updated with a newer version of hs-text. So, we'd need to ship a newer version of hs-text and either no longer provide the Haskell Platform (something I'd like to avoid) or ship two versions of hs-text.

pandoc 1.16.0.2 is available. Can we update?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to cal@…:

and Haskell Platform hasn't been updated with a newer version of hs-text.

Has anything changed about this yet?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

No. I haven't forgot about it, but updating Haskell is non-trivial. If you want to help, that would be welcome. I can offer guidance.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #51638.

[jenstroeger (Jens Troeger)]

Any updates on this?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

I locally have:

• a build of GHC 8.0.1
• a WIP update of haskell-platform to its current 8.0.1 version

I would need to:

• revbump all haskell ports
• probably update lots of ports on the dependency path to pandoc

I would prefer to automate generating haskell portfiles from cabal, e.g. by modifying ​https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix. Help with this would be very welcome.
