  * gnu/packages/haskell.scm (ghc-9.0): New variable.
---
Hi,

this patch introduces GHC 9.0.2.  (More recent than the latest GHC in Guix and
prerequisite to build newer GHC releases, to my understanding.)
Please consider applying it.  Thanks!

Regards
itd

I added a comment that ghc-9.0.2 needs >= 8.8 to build and I removed the
extra git input (it was also inherited from 8.10). You might be
interested to know that when staging is eventually merged we've shorted
the bootstrap path slightly by trying to skip a few versions while
building out, so 9.2.x will hopefully also be buildable with 8.10.

Thanks! Patch pushed.
