  Affects: users of x11-wm/hs-xmonad

  Author: arrowd@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    From now, it is recommended to use "build script" method to compile XMonad
    config. See https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-testing/ for general info and
    port's pkg-message for concrete steps.
  
  

• port moved here from x11-wm/xmonad on 2010-05-24
  REASON: Renamed: It has become a Cabal transcript

lang/ghc: Update to 8.6.3 and bump PORTREVISION's of all Haskell ports.

As usual, it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the
dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following
ways:

# portmaster -w -r ghc
  or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc

In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.  For
example:

# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`

During update some hs-* ports got two PORTREVISION bumps in a row. Other ports
got a PORTVERSION update together with one PORTREVISION bump. This is caused
by bulk-bumping PORTREVISION of all hs-* ports. There are a lot of them updated,
so figuring out which ones require a bump and which are not is too tedious.

lang/ghc: Update to 8.4.3 and bump PORTREVISION's of all Haskell ports.

As usual, it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the
dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following
ways:

# portmaster -w -r ghc
  or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc

In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.  For
example:

# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt

In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved
on the update, then use this command:

# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`

Update to libmpc version 1.0.1 which brings the following fixes:

 - Switched to automake 1.11.6, see CVE-2012-3386.
 - #14669: Fixed extraction of CC from gmp.h.
 - Fixed case of intermediate zero real or imaginary part in mpc_fma,
   found by hydra with GMP_CHECK_RANDOMIZE=1346362345.

This is on top of the following changes from version 1.0

 - Licence change towards LGPLv3+ for the code and GFDLv1.3+ (with no
   invariant sections) for the documentation.
 - 100% of all lines are covered by tests
 - Renamed functions
   . mpc_mul_2exp to mpc_mul_2ui
   . mpc_div_2exp to mpc_div_2ui

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:
x11-wm)

- Update The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler to version 7.6.3
- Update Haskell Platform to version 2013.2.0.0

Please note that port revisions for all the Haskell ports without version
changes are bumped.

Some highlights of the update:

- Fix PDF generation for pandoc [1]
- From now on, PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION are used for
  hs- ports (Cabal packages) as prefixes to avoid problems when upgrading with
  portmaster(8) [2]
- Experimental support for LLVM-based code generation (disabled by default)
- Many simplifications, refactoring in bsd.cabal.mk

- Restore and make default the XINERAMA option which was accidentally dropped
  in r309275
- Bump port revision for the port and for all of its dependents, especially
  xmonad, because it can only work in dual-monitor configurations with this
  setting enabled
