7.8.3 release - please speak up soon.
Hello all, I'm going to do the 7.8.3 release very soon. Now is the time to speak up if something should go in. Here's the take away from this: I *am not* going to fix any other bugs for 7.8.3 or close any other tickets than the following: - #9155 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9155 - #7241 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7241 - #8683 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8683 - #8935 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8935 - #9080 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9080 The first one is a bug fix from Simon for the code generator. The remaining ones are patches I intend to land today. So here's the deal: if you don't speak up now, you'll have to wait until 7.8.4 (sometime in the late summer I imagine) to get your word in. Is there anything anyone absolutely must have that I've missed? Full details on what was fixed are on this page - the 'infoneeded' and 'new' tickets will be punted to a new milestone shortly. All 'closed' tickets are merged and in the 7.8 branch already: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.8.3 -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
Hi,

Probably I'm very late, and the Nix guys can hopefully workaround this on their own side, but can you take a quick look on: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8919 It seems reasonable to just make terminfo, haskeline and xhtml visible to the users from the ghc included packagedb. What can possible go wrong? :) Gergely

+1 I am planning to do this anyway in the Fedora package [1] and haven't encountered any problems yet (with [2]). But if It is too late, I would suggest doing it for 7.10 anyway Jens. [1] I attached the simple patch to the ticket now. [2] http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/petersen/ghc-7.8/fedora-20-x8...

Hia! Can you write what problems are to ship those libraries in it's current form? Do you have some linking problems or something? Ticket does not describe any actual problems. Thanks! -- Sergei

I suppose one could exclude the shared library from the separate distro packages of terminfo, haskeline and xhtml but that feels very weird and wrong, so the point remains: why not just ship the devel files with ghc too? :) Jens

Sorry for the two days of delay, I'm on Zurihac. I modified the ticket with a more verbose description of the issue, I hope it makes sense now. I also summarized two proposals on how to deal with this. Gergely
