Users of nix can test their package using the instructions in this gist. It should be straightforward as the 8.6.1 alpha will be downloaded from the binary cache. https://gist.github.com/mpickering/fd26e9f03d6cb88cbb91b90b6019f3dd The compiler will use patches form head.hackage in order to build dependencies. Any problems, let me know. Matt On Sat, Jun 30, 2018 at 10:26 PM, Ben Gamari <ben@well-typed.com> wrote:
The GHC development team is pleased to announce the first alpha release leading up to GHC 8.6.1. The usual release artifacts are available from
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.1-alpha1
This is the first release (partially) generated using our new CI infrastructure. One known issue is that the haddock documentation is currently unavailable. This will be fixed in the next alpha release. Do let us know if you spot anything else amiss.
As always, do let us know if you encounter any trouble in the course of testing. Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
