Will a binary version of 6.8.2 be released any time soon for Mac OS X 10.5.x Leopard running on a PowerPC, as opposed to an Intel? I have a first-generation aluminum PowerBook with a PowerPC currently running Mac OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar, and am considering upgrading to Leopard next month, but want to install GHC 6.8.2 on it with a binary. Does this mean that I should not upgrade to that OS version? Benjamin L. Russell --- Gregory Wright <gwright@comcast.net> wrote:
... The macports 6.8.2 should be ready soon for Tiger (PPC and Intel) and Leopard (Intel only). I have had successful builds on these platforms and the Portfile is updated. However, the 6.8 branch seems to have introduced a bug in file locking (#1992 in the trac) that causes the build to fail once out of every four or five times. This is not acceptable for a production release, so this has to be tracked down before GHC from macports is updated.
Sorry for the delay, Greg
