Thank you for RC2. I'm happy to help.
I think you're doing a great job.
I finally built ghc-8.0.0 for Fedora Rawhide (quick build): https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.0.1 (perf build is still ongoing).
Fedora perf builds are done now btw.
One minor thing I noticed is that docdir seems have changed RC2 to be versioned. ie the LICENSE files for the included libraries now get installed under "/usr/share/doc/ghc-<version>/html/libraries/*/" rather than "/usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/*/" before. I managed to work around that by configuring with --docdir=/usr/share/doc but it took me by surprise.
This was an intentional change; see #11354. I'll make sure it is mentioned in the next release candidate announcement. Thanks for mentioning this. https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11354
I see, thanks. I added a comment, since 'configure --help' still says the default is unversioned, and I opened a new ticket https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11659 for this. Thanks, Jens
