Thanks Ben. When you have a chance it would be good to update the status page https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-8.2.1 wrt what we will be getting, specifically will Backpack be in 8.2.1 Cheers George On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 12:42 PM Ben Gamari wrote:

Hello everyone,

Here is your periodic release update. After a number of false-starts, the tree is finally approaching a releasable state. Last week I cut the ghc-8.2 branch and things have been stabilizing ever since. At this point we are waiting on only a couple more fixes before the rc1 source release can be cut,

* #13474: To be addressed by Richard soon * #13410: To be addressed by Simon PJ shortly * #13333: To be addressed by Ben shortly * #13433: Simon Marow has a fix

There are also a few issues that we have deemed not to block -rc1, but which must be addressed prior to the final release,

* #13220: David will verify that * #13233: Ben will do a bit more digging, Simon PJ will think about it

With luck we will be able to finish the -rc1 blockers in the next couple of days, allowing us to cut a source release by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cheers,

- Your friendly release manager _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
