Generating fresh names in a source plugin
by Wolfgang Jeltsch 02 Aug '25

02 Aug '25

Hello! I want to generate AST fragments in a source plugin, and for this I need to generate fresh (local) names. My current approach is to use `mkSystemName`, but it, like many of the other name-generating operations, needs a value of type `Unique`. How can I generate such values? It seems that the `Hsc` monad doesn’t carry a value of type `UniqueSupply` with it. All the best, Wolfgang

gitlab.haskell.org outage this weekend
by Ben Gamari 30 Mar '25

30 Mar '25

Hi all, As you may know, Haskell.org is currently in the process of moving its infrastructure to new hosting facilities. As part of this effort, GHC's GitLab instance will be taken down for migration on Saturday 29 March 2025 from 09:00 to 17:00. This includes our issue tracker, CI infrastructure, Docker registry, serving of artifacts. Apologies for the inconvenience but we hope that this will be the last time we need to have such a prolonged outage in quite a while. Cheers, - Ben

Haskell.org mailing list status
by Ben Gamari 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Hi all, As you may have noticed, yesterday brought an unexpected influx of traffic from haskell.org's mailing lists. This was the result of fixing an interruption in mailing list message delivery which began in late February as a result of on-going infrastructure migration efforts. We are monitoring the situation to ensure that this issue does not recur but if you see anything amiss don't hesitate to contact admin(a)haskell.org. Thank you for your understanding and help! Cheers, - Ben
