tl;dr: If you would like to produce a binary distribution for GHC 8.0.1-rc3 then let us know, grab the source distribution and start building. The binary distributions will be all released one week from today. Hello GHC packagers, Austin and I are happy to announce the release of the 8.0.1-rc3 source distribution to binary packagers. You will find the tarball and usual assortment of signatures at http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc3/ This release is the first where we are following our new release policy [1], where a one-week delay will be introduced between the release of the source and binary distributions. The goal of this policy is to give all platforms the opportunity for support from the first day of a release. If all of the expected binary releases are submitted before the week-long delay is through, we can move forward with the release ahead of schedule. Given how late release candidate 3 is, we'd naturally like to get the binary releases out as soon is possible: The sooner we can get this -rc out the door the sooner we can get to the final release. Moreover, it would be appreciated if you could confirm that you intend to offer a binary distribution this release. Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building your distribution. I have yet to push the 8.0.1-rc3 tag in case we encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball thusfar have gone quite well. Good luck and thanks for all of your work! Cheers, - Ben [1] https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2016-March/011546.html

Does it take a while for the source tarball to show up? All I see is the Linux binary distribution. Geoff On 04/10/2016 11:05 AM, Ben Gamari wrote:

Hello GHC packagers,

Austin and I are happy to announce the release of the 8.0.1-rc3 source distribution to binary packagers. You will find the tarball and usual assortment of signatures at

http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc3/

This release is the first where we are following our new release policy [1], where a one-week delay will be introduced between the release of the source and binary distributions. The goal of this policy is to give all platforms the opportunity for support from the first day of a release.

If all of the expected binary releases are submitted before the week-long delay is through, we can move forward with the release ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building your distribution. I have yet to push the 8.0.1-rc3 tag in case we encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball thusfar have gone quite well.

Good luck and thanks for all of your work!

Oh dear, it seems I moved over the wrong file. Sorry about that, everyone. Moreover, I noticed while looking through the patch review queue this afternoon that there are a few patches that should really be in the RC as well. I may take this mistake as an opportunity to fold these in. I'll try to get a new tarball up in the next few hours and post an update here when this happens. Cheers, - Ben

http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git also doesn't seem to list an rc3 tag yet :) On Sun, Apr 10, 2016 at 1:53 PM, Ben Gamari wrote:

That's correct, I mentioned in the original announcement that I didn't push the tag yet in the in case there are issues. I likely won't push it until we have at least a few of the binary distributions done. Cheers, - Ben

I've pushed a new tarball based on 9c48d8a02dd80bba3bd313bc52add841530e28dc. I have pushed essentially everything into this candidate that I expect will go into 8.0.1. It validates but it isn't nearly as well tested as the previous tree. I'll try doing some further builds tomorrow and let you all know if anything goes awry. Happy building! Cheers, - Ben

Sorry for the poor choice of words, indeed the tracking down issue like this is anything but obvious; thanks for your time identifying this one! For the record, `make distclean` is a more thorough variant of `make clean`; distclean'ing a fresh source distribution should never be necessary, although it is often a good first step just to make sure things are in a known state.

...

. I did a make distclean, then a configure, then a make -j5 and got the same error. by rebuild do you mean do it again starting from scratch?

I did google the error, i.e. 'Haskell "_stg_sel_17_upd_info" ' and found that a few people have encountered this this month. Most importantly it led me to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11155#comment:10 :

Ahh, great find! Yes, it sounds like this issue is still not resolved although the fact that it now only appears to occur on OS X boxen is rather odd. Let's continue this discussion on the ticket. Cheers, - Ben

My understanding is that the required version of llvm is 3.7. Is it safe to assume that 3.7.1 is also okay? On Sun, Apr 10, 2016 at 12:05 PM Ben Gamari wrote:

Hello GHC packagers,

Austin and I are happy to announce the release of the 8.0.1-rc3 source distribution to binary packagers. You will find the tarball and usual assortment of signatures at

http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc3/

This release is the first where we are following our new release policy [1], where a one-week delay will be introduced between the release of the source and binary distributions. The goal of this policy is to give all platforms the opportunity for support from the first day of a release.

If all of the expected binary releases are submitted before the week-long delay is through, we can move forward with the release ahead of schedule. Given how late release candidate 3 is, we'd naturally like to get the binary releases out as soon is possible: The sooner we can get this -rc out the door the sooner we can get to the final release. Moreover, it would be appreciated if you could confirm that you intend to offer a binary distribution this release.

Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building your distribution. I have yet to push the 8.0.1-rc3 tag in case we encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball thusfar have gone quite well.

Good luck and thanks for all of your work!

Cheers,

- Ben

Yep, in principle anything from the 3.7 series should work. Now that you mention it, we should probably do a better job of advertising which LLVM versions are supported. Cheers, - Ben

If you look at the bottom of the error, `fontspec` has already given you the more specific diagnosis of what's wrong:

...

The font "DejaVu Sans" cannot be found.

That is, you need to install the DejaVu Sans font. Dealing with fonts and modern typesetting is a complete mystery to me though, so I'll leave you to install it on your Mac. :) On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 2:49 PM, George Colpitts wrote:

Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building your distribution. I have yet to push the 8.0.1-rc3 tag in case we encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball thusfar have gone quite well.

Good luck and thanks for all of your work!

Thanks! with your response and Carter's I was able to get the doc to build! On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 4:56 PM Austin Seipp wrote:

If you look at the bottom of the error, `fontspec` has already given you the more specific diagnosis of what's wrong:

...
The font "DejaVu Sans" cannot be found.

That is, you need to install the DejaVu Sans font. Dealing with fonts and modern typesetting is a complete mystery to me though, so I'll leave you to install it on your Mac. :)

I got past my first problem (see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11823#comment:13 for the resolution) but now I have the following problem building the doc (on a Mac) .

It seems like it doesn't like font names with spaces, not sure why (or if!) this would be Mac specific:

Invalid fontname `DejaVu Sans', contains ' '

tl;dr: If you would like to produce a binary distribution for GHC 8.0.1-rc3 then let us know, grab the source distribution and start building. The binary distributions will be all released one week from today.

Hello GHC packagers,

Austin and I are happy to announce the release of the 8.0.1-rc3 source distribution to binary packagers. You will find the tarball and usual assortment of signatures at

http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc3/

This release is the first where we are following our new release policy [1], where a one-week delay will be introduced between the release of the source and binary distributions. The goal of this policy is to give all platforms the opportunity for support from the first day of a release.

If all of the expected binary releases are submitted before the week-long delay is through, we can move forward with the release ahead of schedule. Given how late release candidate 3 is, we'd naturally like to get the binary releases out as soon is possible: The sooner we can get this -rc out the door the sooner we can get to the final release. Moreover, it would be appreciated if you could confirm that you intend to offer a binary distribution this release.

Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building your distribution. I have yet to push the 8.0.1-rc3 tag in case we encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball thusfar have gone quite well.

Good luck and thanks for all of your work!

Cheers,

- Ben
