Well, they're the bootstrap tarballs, which port downloads and installs temporarily in 'work' directory to bootstrap installation.

I do not build them with the "ghc-$(ProjectVersion)-boot" (but "ghc-$(ProjectVersion)") directory similarly to the vanilla Linux binary packages, thus they can be hardly used for bootstrapping purposes in the classical way. Yesterday I repacked all the bootstrap we have for GHC 6.10.4 (to unbreak lang/ghc), and I got tarballs of ~38 MB each by omitting profiling libraries and documentation. I think they should remain compact as possible. It is easy for me to build separate bootstraps and vanillas, since I use almost the same environment for them. (I would like document the exact process on the GHC wiki soon.)

Yes, compact tarballs would be better. But we need documentation in those tarballs.

And what about schedule of IRC meetings ?

I am fine with them (every or every other Saturday, around 19:00 CEST,

CEST ? Can you mention the UTC offset instead ? Mine is UTC+0530.

#haskell-FreeBSD @ freenode), however this week I might not be able to make it.

No problems. -- Ashish SHUKLA
