Website advertises "full version" with packages included although full version is no longer available

Open Anders-E opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Examples of this:

https://www.haskell.org/platform/

35 core & widely-used packages

https://www.haskell.org/downloads/#platform

It comes in both core versions with tools but no libraries outside of GHC core, or full versions, which include a broader set of globally installed libraries.

However, according to this email from the mailing list, "full" is no longer offered since Haskell Platform 8.6.3:

Second, only core builds are provided, not "full" builds.

The website should be updated to not falsely adverties features that no longer exist.
