GHC 7.10.1 / cabal-install 1.22 Ubuntu-PPA pre-RC snapshots available!

To early adopters & multi-ghc-travis users, I've uploaded pre-RC snapshots for GHC 7.10.1 and cabal-install 1.22 to my GHC PPA[1], so you can start extending your .travis.yml files w/ CABALVER=1.22 GHCVER=7.10.1 There are no official RCs yet for GHC 7.10/cabal-install 1.22, these are merely snapshots from the respective Git branches which I'll keep updating regularly (every 1-3 days) till the final proper release for GHC 7.10.1 and cabal-install 1.22.0.0 occur, at which point those packages (`ghc-7.10-*` & `cabal-install-1.22`) will install the final release versions. The usual official release-candidates (including respective announcements) for GHC & cabal will follow soon. So please, help us finding issues/bugs with these pre-RC snapshots of GHC & cabal-install. Obviously, it's desirable to become aware of any serious issues ASAP, as opposed to shortly before the planned final release date... As these are Git snapshots, when reporting bugs/issues, please also provide the snapshot's Git commit id (which uniquely identifies the GHC source-tree state), which can be queried via a new GHC CLI option, e.g.: $ ghc --print-project-git-commit-id a8c556dfca3eca5277615cc2bf9d6c8f1f143c9a Here's an example build using 7.10.1 to show those packages actually work: https://travis-ci.org/haskell/unix/builds/44919992 [1]: https://github.com/hvr/multi-ghc-travis https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc Cheers, hvr PS: If you happen to run into compile errors for Hackage packages which claim to work with GHC 7.10.1 (e.g. by allowing `base-4.8`), I'd be interested to hear about it.
