The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.10.4 How to get it http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
I have a few comments about the "Distribution Packages" page that is linked from there:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/distribution_packages.html
Debian:
Remove the line "Newer packages may be available in Haskell Unsafe." That stuff is very, very old.
Mac OS X:
Paragraph beginning "Contrary to the recommendation at the top of this page... rather than using the alternatives below." It makes no sense. It appears to be referring to an older version of the page.
"Both 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger) are supported." should be changed to 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard).
The paragraph about the ghc-devel port should be removed, I think. The port still exists, but it doesn't seem to be actively supported since 6.7. Anyone who wants to use GHC HEAD will probably just build current HEAD manually. (Greg - is this correct?)
The ghc-devel port is not supported now. I will modify it to print a message to that effect. When there is a more reliable procedure for development builds is available I can re-enable the port.
Thanks, Yitz
