Is it possible to get the Haskell-Platform updated to a more recent version ?
Debian has got the 2014 version on all releases.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to do something
about this please ?
Are you sure you want to use haskell-platform? The latest upstream
version, whilst newer than Debian's copy, is also several years old (May
2019).
I don't think it has been formally abandoned or deprecated but I don't
think anyone is really working on it anymore. The upstream homepage used
to be https://www.haskell.org/platform/, which now redirects to
https://www.haskell.org/downloads/, which no longer mentions Haskell
Platform at all.
What to recommend instead depends on exactly what you are trying to do.
If you are trying to develop a Haskell program I would recommend using
"stack", which is available in the Debian package haskell-stack. Using
stack means downloading all the Haskell packages you use from outside
of Debian. There are other options.
