[Nix-dev] master has switched to LTS 8.x with GHC 8.0.2

[Peter Simons]

Fellow Haskell Hackers,

the "haskellPackages" set is now based on LTS 8.x and thus uses GHC 8.0.2
as the default compiler [1]. We currently have some ~500 broken packages
that used to build fine before this update, so there is going to be a
transition period until things work reliably again on the Haskell front.
Everyone is invited to contribute fixes. :-)

Best regards,
Peter
