GHC 6.12.2 is Out on FreeBSD! FreeBSD is Tier 1!
by Gabor PALI 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Dear all, I am happy to announce that GHC 6.12.2 is now available for FreeBSD as a vanilla binary package on i386 and amd64 platforms [1]. This is also the first release that includes FreeBSD as a Tier 1 platform (i.e. "supported platform"). These are not official FreeBSD ports, so they do not support many fancy stuff that the Ports Collection already offers, like handling dependencies and removal of installed files. But hopefully this will be converted to a conventional port (like lang/ghc-devel) soon. Please, do not hesitate to report if you have any problems with the packages. Cheers, :g [1] http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_12_2.html

GHC 6.12.2 out!!
by wahjava.ml＠gmail.com 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi everyone, GHC 6.12.2 is out[1]. What are the plans for it ? This release also contains shared-library patch for FreeBSD submitted by mux. Also can we decide on some time for weekly (or biweekly) IRC meetings for discussions around this. I think meeting once in n days is necessary for the future of this project. I'm fine with weekends.

cabal-install
by Erik de Castro Lopo 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Hi all, I've just installed freebsd-8 in a VM for use as a buildbot for a project that uses haskell. I've install ghc-6.10.4 from the ports and would now like to get cabal-install, but that doesn't seem to be available in the ports. So, what's the easiest way to get cabal-install?

hsporter
by Gabor PALI 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hello there, I would like to notify you that a very simple and experimental but cabalized and darcs'd version of my hsporter tool is now available in public. You can get your own copy it by issuing the command below. darcs get http://code.haskell.org/~pgj/projects/hsporter/ Few words of warning: - As we are still waiting for other sweeping changes in the FreeBSD ports tree to happen, there is no "official" support for the generated ports, but it is scheduled. Independently of this, it can be used locally since the required BSD make(1) includes are part of the project. - You cannot push changes to the repository, but you can send me patches any time. Be sure to check out the ".todo" file first! Ask if you have doubts (some of the items might read cryptic at first glance). - It is not published on HackageDB yet. It lacks some basic features (like error handling, support for all constructs in the make(1) includes), but it can cope with simpler Cabal packages. Have fun, :g

GHC FreeBSD Build Slaves (Towards Being Tier 1)

Hello there, I am happy to notify you that there are some GHC build slaves up and running for FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. You can check out some recent results here: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj/5.html (i386) http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj2/5.html (amd64) I would like to document my experiences on the GHC wiki, and I will get back to you when it is done.
