Now that a new release of The Platform is out when will it make it into Arch?

Would it be possible to get a status update?

I'll be on it by the end of this week when my vacation ends.

If the effort needs help, then please let us know of this mailing list.  I'm sure there are several people who are more than willing to help out in any way they can.  Including me.

It always does, thanks for volunteering :)

Here's a tasklist:

1) bump ghc to 6.12.3, build & install 2) bump all the dependencies in haskell-platform package to match the new spec 3) rebuild all haskell-platform dependencies 4) rebuild rest of the binary packages we provide in extra and community 5) upload the whole set to testing, community-testing 6) test 7) move from testing to extra, community

Stages 1-4 can be done, more or less, without dev privileges.

I made an attempt at 1 above. The result is in the patch attached. Let me know if you would rather I reported this in some other way. /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
