Re: 7.8 branch is created, HEAD is now open, and a note on merges

Hi Austin, Awesome. Builds are underway now. Cheers Luke On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 3:03 PM, Austin Seipp wrote:

Hello all,

The 7.8 branch is officially ready for RC1 (after some final Haddock bugs got quickly squashed by Gergo and Mateusz.)

Pali, Luke - this is specifically for you two as you have offered to make the FreeBSD and iOS builds (Luke - 7.8 should contain both the fix for __thread and the perf-cross flavor, so it should work out of the box for you.)

Attached is a fingerprint file for the GHC repository. You can restore it with:

$ ./utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py restore -f ghc-7.8-rc1.fingerprint

See here for more details -

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#Trackingthe...

Alternatively, simply checking out to the 'ghc-7.8' branch will result in the same thing - no new commits will go in until after RC1:

$ git clone -b ghc-7.8 git://git.haskell.org/ghc ghc-7.8 $ cd ghc-7.8 $ ./sync-all get -b ghc-7.8 --extra --nofib

Afterwords, just build and make the binaries as you normally would:

$ ./boot; ./configure $ make $ make binary-dist

Please let me know when the builds are done and somewhere to obtain them, and I'll upload them to haskell.org for the RC. I'll begin my builds now too...
