I've pushed some changes to the pre-release branch of haskell platform. The tentative version list is now set, and I've done a preliminary build of the Mac release to be sure everything builds smoothly....

....it doesn't:

Cabal as of 1.14 now refuses to run if GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is set. Alas, this the way I was getting ghc to build in a hermetic environment (building the platform with the platform's version of GHC, not the version installed on my system). I've hacked around it in the build.sh script... but it is fugly. Other packagers may well encounter the same issue.
cgi will need a quick rev. as it relies on extensible-exceptions which are no longer a separate package in 7.6.x

As such, I don't think I'll have a candidate by tomorrow --- but soon.
