What happened to the installation chapter in the GHC User's Guide?

Up to GHC 6.10.2, there used to be an installation chapter in the GHC User's Guide (see "Chapter 2. Installing GHC" at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/installing-bin-distr...). This section was very useful, for example, in determining whether it was possible to move the GHC tree around in Windows, or, by extension, whether it was necessary to uninstall GHC in order to install a later version. However, starting with GHC 6.10.3, this chapter seems to be missing. When I asked about this issue earlier on this mailing list a few months ago, IIRC, one response was that the chapter was outdated. Are there any plans to update this chapter? Every once in a while, I forget whether GHC needs to be uninstalled in order to be updated on Windows, and am forced to consult an earlier version of this chapter. -- Benjamin L.

I believe this is being superseded by the Haskell Platform installer. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
