nhc98 is a Haskell compiler. |

This package has been masked for several months because its memory |
4 |
management system makes assumptions that are no longer true on 2.6 |
5 |
kernels. This is not easily fixable and the upstream devs no not have |
6 |
the time or inclination to rewrite the runtime system. See also #46943. |

We do hope to get Yhc into portage when it is ready. Yhc is a fork of |
9 |
nhc98 with a totally rewritten runtime system and many other |
10 |
improvements. However it is not a direct drop-in replacement for nhc98 |
11 |
so there is no point in keeping nhc in the tree until yhc is ready. |

I there are no objections I will remove this package in a week. |
