Would it be possible to push an 8.0.2 update? It seems that the alpine-ghc upstream has already been updated to it: mitchty/alpine-ghc@ac49249

Opening this issue as an alert to anyone on github that appears to be using my ghc port.

Ghc and cabal are now upstreamed for x86_64 on alpine linux edge. Ghc requires alpine linux 3.5 or higher to run. But otherwise the upstreamed package is the same as my old port. With a caveat that the profiled ghc libraries are now in a sub package named ghc-dev.

Either add the edge testing repository to /etc/apk/repositories, or alternatively you may install ghc/cabal via:

# apk --no-cache add --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing ghc ghc-dev cabal

As a side note for stack specifically, I added a flag to the stack cabal file that makes it easy to build stack statically.
commercialhaskell/stack@cda4c09

The way stack is being built statically here is unnecessary, and the c runtime changes are also unnecessary and will only produce a larger static binary. Recommend you change to using the existing flag instead of the glibc gcc runtime hacks in use here.

Also note, I also ported upx to alpine edge, so you can also add upx from the edge testing repo if you want to test and validate that as well. Note however, upx does NOT compress dynamic musl binaries however, this is a upx limitation not the ports.
