Hi,

It's that time again. 1.20.0.1 is out and I want to put a Windows executable for download on the Hackage website. Could someone provide me with one?

Attached.

Let's also upload a Linux executable, people have requested it before.

portable an executable would be if I build it on e.g. some specific version of Ubuntu?

Attaching a Linux exe (32-bit). 12.04 LTS is two years old (older than Debian 7, which is used to build Linux binaries for GHC), so the libc requirement shouldn't be a problem. If people will complain about it, I can use some other Linux distro inside​​ a VM. BTW, the Windows exe I sent you was 32-bit, unlike what it says on the download page. ​ cabal-1.20.0.1-i386-unknown-linuxhttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-gmfQNqT8HtSVJ2MlZvOG05ckk/edit?usp=drive_w... ​

BTW I just noticed that http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html now says that ghc-7.8.1 ships with Cabal-1.20.0.0 whereas in fact it still ships with 1.18.1.3.

(I imagine that the sentence was updated/added for 1.18.1.3 and then just left there when the section was updated to 1.20.)

Good catch. Fixed.

Btw, if you want 32bit+64bit binaries for Ubuntu 12.04LTS in future, you can steal them of my PPA as well:

For instance, here's how to extract the Linux executable just by using 'wget', 'ar', and 'tar':

wget https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ghc/+files/cabal-install-1.20_1.20.0.1-1... ar x cabal-install-1.20_1.20.0.1-1_amd64.deb data.tar.gz tar xvzf data.tar.gz ./opt/cabal/1.20/bin/cabal

(for the 32bit binary, just replace 'amd64' by 'i386')

Good to know, thanks! At some point we should probably establish a process for doing this, instead of me sending out random emails. We should list the binaries we want to provide who/what system is responsible for providing them.
