Haskell support on various Linux distributions. How to find Haskell applications and tools, contribute new packages, and get help for your distribution.

Available downloads:

GHCup
GHC Distribution Packages (see also the Repology pages for GHC and cabal-install)
GHC source

For most cases, GHCup is the preferred download.

Mostly distributions should provide:

GHC
Core libraries
Core development tools
Cabal and cabal-install

Arch Haskell

Blog	Arch Haskell Blog
IRC	#arch-haskell @ freenode.org
Applications	Haskell applications provided on Arch Linux

Tools	cabal2arch

Debian GNU/Linux

Debian Gnu/Linux provides a good toolchain for Haskell development

Libraries: The most important packages are available in the stable, testing and unstable trees.
Applications:
Mailing list: debian-haskell
Wiki:
IRC channel: #debian-haskell @ irc.debian.org
Making new packages: .deb from .cabal is a fairly easy process.

Fedora

Fedora Haskell SIG Page

Applications/Libraries: Closed package reviews CC'd to fedora-haskell-list
Mailing list: fedora-haskell-list
IRC channel: The #fedora-haskell IRC channel on Freenode

Gentoo

IRC	#gentoo-haskell @ freenode.org
Applications	Haskell applications and libraries provided on Gentoo Linux
Tools	hackport

NixOS

NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages. Nix package manager distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages registered on Hackage.

Tools	cabal2nix, stack2nix, haskell.nix

Slackware Linux

Slackware does not have official Haskell support.

An unofficial Slackware repository for Haskell tools, library and programs is available here. This repository works with slapt-get and swaret.

Tools: slackbuild

Ubuntu

This is pretty much the same as Debian, providing you add the 'universe' and/or 'multiverse' repositories, which import Debian packages and recompile them to match Ubuntu dependencies. The exact versions of packages may be different from Debian, but they tend to be ahead of Debian stable (sometimes by a long way). (See also How to install Haskell Platform for Ubuntu 13.04?)

RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux 5 and 6 and Fedora 16 and 17

Downloads for these distributions can be found at JustHub
