Re: RC Status

I just filled a bug report for a compile-time crash that happens on HEAD: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8686 Looks like this is fault of some dynamic stuff. I'm affraid that whatever the cause of this problem is it might have large impact if we release stable GHC with this issue unfixed. Janek Dnia sobota, 18 stycznia 2014, Páli Gábor János napisał:

Thanks a lot. I will be branching soon. Please let me know if you need me to merge anything to the release branch.

I have not seen a ghc-7.8 branch yet, but here are the hashes for the commits I would merge:

1ad599ea241626f47006fa386e4aaf38dc91fdbb -- Fixes #8451 bcc5c953f80c53732172345639f30974b9862043 -- DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=YES for FreeBSD c3b8b3ab27f092c83e08915e3de0bde29321cd31 -- Minor fix in configure (I have been using it in the FreeBSD ports tree) 0d90cbc988af31ff8ea35120203bd9d252d8055e -- Enable the LLVM codegen for FreeBSD/amd64 (also used in the FreeBSD ports tree)

I have also run through your 7.8 RC checklist [1] and I would update it with the following information:

- FreeBSD (i386): builds clean, validate works, bootstrapping works. - FreeBSD (x86_64): builds clean, validate works, bootstrapping works. - Dynamic GHCi is now enabled and works for both i386 and x86_64 on FreeBSD.
