-The Haskell Platform is a comprehensive, robust development for programming
-in Haskell, which not only makes it trivial to get up and running with a full
-Haskell development environment, but also provides a comprehensive, standard
-base for commercial and open source Haskell development that maximises
-interoperability and stability of your code.
-
-This requires ghc.  The upstream-recommended version is 7.6.3, but the
---enable-unsupported-ghc-version flag is on by default to allow the SBo
-version to be used instead.
-
-This is intended to be installed on a system that does not already have any
-haskell-related components (other than ghc, of course) installed,
-so for best results (and chance of success), you should remove any of those
-before you try to build haskell-platform.
-
-NOTE: If you have sage installed, you may want to rename /opt/sage before
-building haskell-platform and rename it back after it finished building.

-# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
-# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
-# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
-# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
-# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
-# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
