Not in particular - I guess we didn't get everything we precisely needed for the RC. I've filed a ticket: #10530 On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 10:25 PM, Andrés Sicard-Ramírez wrote:

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.10.2:

Since transformers is a GHC-include library, is there any particular reason why GHC 7.10.2 RC1 didn't include the latest version of the transformers library, i.e. transformers-0.4.3.0?

Grrr... I could have *swore* I fixed it this time, and even to be double-sure I did a `git clean` and everything.. Yes, we should have a sanity check somewhere, and also double check the testsuite is clean. I'll noodle on it for the release (since apparently the last version didn't work).

Thanks!

The testsuite src tarball still (like in 7.10.1) includes this large binary executable file:

-rwxrwxr-x a/a 7873779 Mar 16 17:34 2015 ghc-7.10.0.20150316/testsuite/mk/ghc-config

Can it be removed it for 7.10.2?

ps It might be good to have some tarball size sanity check to avoid these kind of problems recurring.

Is the 7.10.2 hvr ppa using this RC?

...it's easy to check, as since 7.10 we embed the Git commit id into the source-tarball as well as into the generated ghc binary: $ /opt/ghc/7.10.2/bin/ghc --info | grep Git ,("Project Git commit id","5560861e4562a2e270e6610e6ef3cf120253bb16") or more useful for scripting, i.e. in buildbots (but harder to remember): $ /opt/ghc/7.10.2/bin/ghc --print-project-git-commit-id 5560861e4562a2e270e6610e6ef3cf120253bb16 and if you compare that with the git repo that id *currently* matches the commit pointed to by the lightweight 'ghc-7.10.2-rc2' tag: http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/shortlog/refs/tags/ghc-7.10.2-rc2 Cheers, hvr
