  20 Mar 2006; <nixnut@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Stable on ppc. Bug #126134

  18 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts <dcoutts@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Enable SplitObjs on sparc. This means that a stripped hello world binary is
  now 500K rather than 2.5Mb. It may work on ppc too, this needs testing.

  15 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts <dcoutts@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  A further fix for the executable stack issue.
  (It seems we need -Wa,--noexecstack in SRC_CC_OPTS as well as SRC_HC_OPTS)

  13 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts <dcoutts@gentoo.org> files/ghc-updater,
  ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Improvements to ghc-updater thanks to kosmikus and with help from ferdy

  13 Mar 2006; Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Marked ~hppa (bug #125389).

  13 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts <dcoutts@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Fix omission in hppa support.

  10 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts <dcoutts@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:
  Change what flags we use to disable hardened gcc and how we set them. We now
  use one set of flags rather than picking them conditionally.
  Use an option which should fix the executable-stack problem (bug #123698).
  Prepare for hppa arch support and misc minor tidy-ups.

  01 Mar 2006; Markus Rothe <corsair@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild:

  10 Feb 2006; <dcoutts@gentoo.org> -ghc-6.0.1.ebuild:

  16 Nov 2005; Andres Loeh <kosmikus@gentoo.org> ghc-6.4.1-r1.ebuild:

  Fixed bug that caused ghci to fail with glibc-2.3.2 (reported by Ralf Hinze
  <ralf@informatik.uni-bonn.de>). Also added the generation of documentation
  again (had been missing for a while). To get full documentation, set the "doc"
  USE flag.

*ghc-5.04.2 (21 Mar 2003)

  21 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.3.ebuild :
  new version
  Now with all virtuals in place should build off existing ghc nicely..

  21 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.2.ebuild :
  created new virtual: virtual/ghc.
  Made ghc depend on virtual/ghc (and provide one) instead of on dev-lang/ghc-bin
  ghc-bin in turn now also provides virtual/ghc, this closes #10155

  13 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.2.ebuild :
  fix for when ghc gets bootstrapped off different version.
  Thanks to Andres Loeh <andres@cs.uu.nl> and Ralf Hinze <ralf@informatik.uni-bonn.de>.

  08 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.2.ebuild :

  updated the ebuild to correctly build (namely to build ghci) if bootstrapped off different (older)
  version. See #10155 for details.

*ghc-5.04i.2 (12 Feb 2003)

  12 Feb 2003; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.2.ebuild, files/digest-ghc-5.04.2 :

  The long awaited update. (#10155)
  Fixes things on x86. !!!Needs testing on sparc!!! (has good chances to work on sparc,
  provided ghc-bin-5.04.2 works)
  ebuild bootstraps ghc from ghc-bin and contains remarks 
  on how to "maintain" it correctly  (in short: for general purpose no special attention required)

  17 Jan 2003; Matthew Turk <satai@gentoo.org> :
  Looks like it didn't take...  Trying again!

  09 Jan 2003; Matthew Turk <satai@gentoo.org> :
  Changed the docbook-sgml-dtd dependency to one that *exists*.

  06 Dec 2002; Rodney Rees <manson@gentoo.org> : changed sparc ~sparc keywords
 
*ghc-5.04.ebuild (08 Aug 2002)

  19 Aug 2002; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.ebuild :

  fixed header, added >=dev-libs/gmp-4.1 dependency

  08 Jul 2002; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.04.ebuild, files/ghc-5.04-gentoo.patch.bz2 :

  new version,
  bzipped patched (too large otherwise),
  will keep uncompressed for 5.02.3 anc compressed for 5.04 until new version 
  is tested (to have one working meanwhile)

  ebuild (and large patching work) submitted by:
  Sven Moritz Hallberg <pesco@gmx.de>

*ghc-5.02.3.ebuild (09 Jun 2002)

  18 Jun 2002; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> ghc-5.02.3.ebuild :

  Few improvements by Sven Moritz Hallberg :
  Build DocBook documentation only if USEing 'doc'. Require DocBook DTD 3.1 in
  that case.

  Thanks to a bug report by Matthew Walton I've noticed that GHC requires the
  DocBook DTD 3.1, not 4.1.
  
  09 Jun 2002; George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org> all :
  
  First submission
  From the home page:

  The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising compiler 
  and interactive environment for Haskell 98, GHC compiles Haskell to either 
  native code or C.  It implements numerous experimental language extensions 
  to Haskell 98; for example: concurrency, a foreign language interface, 
  multi-parameter type classes, scoped type variables, existential and universal 
  quantification, unboxed types, exceptions, weak pointers, and so on.  GHC comes 
  with a generational garbage collector, and a space and time profiler.
