Thanks Miëtek, I'll update the page and wording this evening (UTC) - do you have some preferred wording I should use on the page? Cheers, ryan On 6 May 2015 at 05:03, Miëtek Bak wrote:

Ryan,

cabal-install binaries for 1.20.1.0, 1.22.3.0, and 1.22.4.0 are now available in Halcyon on the following platforms:

- Amazon Linux 2014.09 (x86_64) - Arch Linux (x86_64) - CentOS 6 (i386 and x86_64) - CentOS 7 (x86_64) - Debian 6 (i386 and x86_64) - Debian 7 (i386 and x86_64) - Fedora 20 (i386 and x86_64) - Fedora 21 (x86_64) - openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) - OS X 10.8 (x86_64) - OS X 10.9 (x86_64) - OS X 10.10 (x86_64) - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (x86_64) - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (x86_64) - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64) - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (x86_64) - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (i386 and x86_64) - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (i386 and x86_64) - Ubuntu 14.10 (i386 and x86_64)

Fedora 19 (i386 and x86_64), Red Hat Enterprise Linus 6 (i386), and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (i386) are gone. Support for Debian 8 and Ubuntu 15.04 is coming soon.

Please note the Cabal download page is currently misleading users into believing they can download cabal-binaries directly from the Halcyon website. This is not the case. The idea is to use Halcyon to set up a Haskell environment, without depending on packages provided (or, more likely, not provided) by the distribution maintainers.

A minor release of Cabal and cabal-install has been completed.

This is available for download on haskell.org as well as hackage. The main reason for this release was a fix for the ghcjs-pkg version number handling. The changelog entries for both are below.

Cabal: 1.22.3.0 Ryan Thomas April 2015 * Fix for the ghcjs-pkg version number handling (Luite Stegeman) * filterConfigureFlags: filter more flags (Mikhail Glushenkov) * Cabal check will fail on -fprof-auto passed as a ghc-option - Fixes #2479 (John Chee)

cabal-install: 1.22.3.0 Ryan Thomas April 2015 * Fix bash completion for sandbox subcommands - Fixes #2513 (Mikhail Glushenkov) * filterConfigureFlags: filter more flags (Mikhail Glushenkov)

Miëtek, Mikhail: If you would be willing to build the additional binaries as was done with 1.22.2.0 I will update the downloads page with them too.

Cheers,

Ryan
