Well, it’s worse than that. The recent releases haven’t come with any official binaries at all. So if we wanted to make the official Cabal binaries more prominent (good idea) then we should actually generate and link to those binaries (which takes work). This relates to the discussion I’ve been kicking off about getting some unified and shared build infrastructure so we can crank those binaries out with less work. Until that point though, we should maybe raid halcyon’s builds to actually provide some binaries for the latest releases :-) —gershom On November 10, 2015 at 12:33:24 AM, Miëtek Bak (mietek@bak.io) wrote:

Dear Ryan,

The Cabal download page hasn’t been updated for a while. https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html

I think it’d make sense to remove the exhaustive list of platforms supported by Halcyon from this page, and make the links to official Cabal binaries more prominent.

If any mention of Halcyon should be kept on the page at all, perhaps it could be a short note at the very end of the cabal-install section, saying something to the effect of “cabal-install can also be installed with Halcyon”.

Hi all,

A new minor release of cabal-install has been released, this is to pick up a fix for @ezyang's fix for #2502.

This is now available on hackage and the downloads page and the sha1sum is listed below.

Cheers,

This is done, I still left the link to Halcyon there but removed the exhaustive list. On 26 January 2016 at 07:57, Miëtek Bak wrote:

Please remove the exhaustive list of platforms supported by Halcyon from the Cabal download page. It’s now more confusing than helpful.
