The GHC Team is very pleased to announce the first release candidate of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler 8.0.1 release.
Thanks! - I spent a little trying to build/package it for Fedora, but running in the usual problem with changes in the library paths/package keys handling again... I see that the libraries that come with ghc do not get a package key unlike those built by hand with Cabal (in the hs-libraries field). Hence their filepaths also don't include the key any more. Is this intentional? I need to update my dependency generation script for the libraries. However I am less sure how to handle/get the keys or hashes of dependencies now: is it better to use the id key than the ABI hash? Quite possible that I missed some earlier discussion, but some light on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Jens ps Please ignore: <rantsorry>If we could stop changing the library file-paths/-names and hash/key handling so frequently, it would make the life easier for us distro packagers/maintainers, though I am sure there are a good reasons for it.</rantsorry> :)
