How can I install the latest Haskell Platform on debian?
I want to install the latest Haskell Platform on my Raspberry Pi.
Unfortunately my linux-fu is very weak. I can apt-get install haskell-platform which works, as far as it goes, but installs a very old version from the official package repository. Part of the code I want to compile only compiles against GHC 7.8.

As the comments discuss, the experimental suite contains (very) recent ghcs (including ghc release candidates).
You can install packages from there like so:
apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install packagename
unstable also contains ghcs that are actually released.
And the generic linux binary platform also will work with debian.
