Hello *, The 7.8.3 source tarball is imminent. I'll be creating it as soon as my build is done. I expect it will take an hour or so to finish. Note that I have not yet pushed the tag (which will mark the official release version), but everything should be just fine. I'm simply a bit paranoid and running everything through its steps again before handing it out. Gabor, Luke, Mark, Karel - you know what to do when it's here. As usual, I'll be taking care of Windows and the matrix of Linux builds. Mark has stepped up to build the OS X release, for which I'm quite grateful. Sorry for the wait everyone, but it's here, and it's looking good.... -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/

Hi all,
After all the paranoia and double-checking, the source tarballs are online:
https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.3/
NOTE: if the others making binary distributions wouldn't mind, could
you please also create .tar.xz's of your builds? In practice the last
time I did this, but repackaging the .bz2's into .xz's on my side took
a significant amount of time and CPU (several hours, actually, because
xz is very CPU intensive at level 9 compression). As a result, if you
all could do it, that would be nice, to help parallelize the workload
a bit.
You can create a .xz along with a .bz2 by saying:
$ make binary-dist # create bz2
$ make binary-dist TAR_COMP=xz # create xz
This will put both the .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz in the working directory
of your build tree. If you can't or don't want to take the time, I can
of course repackage them, but it would be nice.
Thanks everyone, let's get this over with...

Debian package on its way to the experimental suite. I don’t expect 7.8 to enter unstable soon. It still fails to build on a number of non-tier-1 architectures, so I expect the next Debian stable release to be conservative and stick to 7.6.

Thank you! I have built it for Fedora 20 and 21 (still in development) in my Fedora copr repo: http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.8/ It may be too late to get 7.8.3 into Fedora 21 since we just passed the feature freeze and branched from Rawhide this week. Cheers, Jens [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule

Morning all. I've just kicked off the Mac builds.... Since I have several to do, and they take awhile... and I have to go to work today... I expect these to be ready sometime late tonight PST. - Mark

Hi Austin,
Thanks!
Should have mentioned that I updated the README and streamlined
installation process for my class at BayHac.
The new README is here if you'd like to pull it in:
https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/blob/master/README.md
(raw: https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/raw/master/README.md)
