ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 3

We are pleased to announce the third release candidate for GHC 7.10.1: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc3 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc3/docs/html/ This includes the source tarball and bindists for Windows and Debian Linux. FreeBSD, CentOS and Mac OS X binary distributions will follow soon. These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F). We plan to make the 7.10.1 final release at the end of this week - so please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! The list of issues we plan on fixing can always be found in an up-to-date form here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.10.1 -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/

Thanks. 7.10.1-rc3 is now available in Halcyon, on CentOS 6 (x86_64 only), CentOS 7, Debian 7, Fedora 19, Fedora 20, Fedora 21 (x86_64 only), Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 14.10.
As with 7.10.1-rc2, installation fails on CentOS 6 (i386), Debian 6, and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, in one of two following ways —
1. On i386:
"utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" copy libraries/ghc-prim dist-install "strip" '' '/app/ghc' '/app/ghc/lib/ghc-7.10.0.20150316' '/app/ghc/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries' 'v p dyn'

2. On x86_64:
ghc-cabal: '/app/ghc/lib/ghc-7.10.0.20150316/bin/ghc' exited with an error:
/app/ghc/lib/ghc-7.10.0.20150316/bin/ghc: symbol lookup error:

The current version of cabal-install located at Hackage can not be installed for the RC because of the following dependency error: Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: filepath >=1.0 && <1.4 The problem is that cabal-install require filepath < 1.4, while the RC ships with filepath-1.4. This issue [1] has already been solved in cabal-install, so a new release available at Hackage would be desirable. Regards, Björn [1]: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2461

The current version of cabal-install located at Hackage can not be installed for the RC because of the following dependency error:
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: filepath >=1.0 && <1.4
The problem is that cabal-install require filepath < 1.4, while the RC ships with filepath-1.4. This issue [1] has already been solved in cabal-install, so a new release available at Hackage would be desirable. I've hit the same issue just moments ago. The solution was to install cabal-install from 1.22 branch of Cabal repo:
cabal get -s cabal ; cd Cabal ; git checkout 1.22 ; cd cabal-install; ./bootstrap.sh Janek --- Politechnika Łódzka Lodz University of Technology Treść tej wiadomości zawiera informacje przeznaczone tylko dla adresata.

I haven't been able to test my build scripts with RC2 or RC3 because cabal-install won't install automatically from Hackage. Please release the fixed version. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-GHC-7-10-1-Release-Candidate-3...

All of the mingw links give me 403 forbidden errors. Do they have
permission issues?

BTW, *-testsuite tarball contains bits left from the amd64/linux build so gmake test is not working due to missing /lib64/ld-linux* library for ghc-config. Solaris 11 builds are uploading now... Karel On 03/16/15 09:30 PM, Austin Seipp wrote:

We are pleased to announce the third release candidate for GHC 7.10.1: [..] FreeBSD [..] binary distributions will follow soon.
There you can find the FreeBSD tarballs and their checksums: http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/ghc-7.10.0.20150316-i386-portbld-freebsd.tar.... http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/ghc-7.10.0.20150316-i386-portbld-freebsd.tar.... http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/ghc-7.10.0.20150316-x86_64-portbld-freebsd.ta... http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/ghc-7.10.0.20150316-x86_64-portbld-freebsd.ta... http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/SHA256SUMS A brief install guide is also available, although it says GHC 7.8.4, it shall work for this version as well: http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/ghc/README.html

Do we have an ETA for a MacOS binary distribution?

I made an unofficial OS X build again [0]. I'd be happy to offer my
services to make an official build as well if people are interested
and know how to get this on the ghc download page.
