'Alpine (GMP bignum implementation)' part of GHC download webpages is incorrect (GHC 9.0.2 to GHC 9.4.2)
The following part of the download page for GHC 9.4.2 (https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_9_4_2.html) appears to be incorrect. A similar problem affects the corresponding pages for GHC 9.0.2, 9.2.1, 9.2.2, 9.2.3, 9.2.4 and 9.4.1.
Alpine (GMP bignum implementation)
Alpine Linux 3.12 for x86-64. This is a complete build, including interactive system, profiling libraries and documentation. Unlike our other binary distributions, this links against the
integer-simple
big-integer backend and therefore does not requirelibgmp
.ghc-9.4.2-x86_64-alpine3_12-linux-static.tar.xz (214.8 MB, sig)
I think it should read something like this:
Alpine (GMP bignum implementation)
Alpine Linux 3.12 for x86-64. This is a complete build, including interactive system, profiling libraries and documentation. This links against GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library) and requires
libgmp.so.10
