[Haskell-beginners] recommended way to get haskell 6.10 installed on ubuntu hardy?
Joe Van Dyk
platform says you need 6.10 installed to build the source package.

You might consider installing the 6.8 package to bootstrap a 6.10
compile. I've done it a few times with high success and pretty
straight-forward.

Tony's advice is probably your best bet, but after you've installed
ghc 6.8 using apt-get, install GHC using the Haskell Platform [1]
source installer. This comes with many other libraries but importantly
it installs 'cabal' which is probably the most important tool required
to get up and running with Haskell.

At work we use hardy and to get the latest haskell stuff I did
the following:
a) Install ghc-6.8.
b) Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib
c) Get the sources to ghc-6.10 using:
apt-get build-dep ghc6
apt-get source ghc-6.10
d) Build the package and install it.
e) Apt get the sources to the libraries and build/install them.
Its painful and you do need to be reasonably comfortable with building
debian packages, but it worked for me.
Cheers,
Erik

And in Karmic, but the original poster asked about Hardy.

I've got close to 1000 kiosk style machines in the field, with the
vast majority being spread out across the US (I live in Australia).
These machines have no keyboard, just a network connection (not
particularly high bandwidth).
How do you propose that I upgrade these machines? What do I do
with the machines that fail during upgrade?
Upgrading is not always the right answer.

When I was on Hardy, I just installed 6.10 from the binary tarball.
