Is there any hope for it to be fixed before the freeze of ports tree? I use Gentoo Linux where gcc-4.1.2 is used, and ghc compiles and works fine with that. Wish gcc-4.2.1 used in FreeBSD-7.0 will not differ too much. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

i believe that is the purpose of the extended beta/rc period, to allow ports maintainers a chance to get things fixed before the main release as it stands a fix was submitted by a user but has not been entered into the main ports tree (yet): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117235 my impression of freebsd beta releases is that the term "beta" is not being casually applied (like google etc), but is a true cautionary label

I'll try to coordinate with fellow FreeBSD developers who are interested in Haskell, in order to ensure we'll get GHC for FreeBSD 7 soon enough. I am not sure however, that it will happen in time for 7.0-RELEASE. The ports freeze is currently planned for October 30. Cheers, Maxime
