The next Haskell Platform release is our final minor version on the 2009.2.0 branch. The timeline looks like: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/ReleaseTimetable # Freeze for package changes to 2009.2.0.2: Wednesday July 1 # Release 2009.2.0.2, Monday 13th July (6 weeks after .1) This is a minor release, so follows the versioning policy: bug fixes to packages only, and new installers please. Probably we'll also upgrade to 6.10.4 by then. It would be great if we could have our first public Mac OSX installer by then too, along with a Debian and Fedora installer. -- Don

I agree, it'd be great to get some feedback on that (tumbleweeds so
far..) so I can prepare a final package.

There's a preview ? I missed that, and so do my google searches. I'll try it if you post it..

Hi all,
After months of intense frustration I have something approaching a
reasonable OSX installer for the Haskell Platform. I'd appreciate it if
some OSX hackers could try it out.
The installer can be downloaded from:
http://gregorycollins.net/static/haskell/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1-alpha1....
Please do me a favour and don't link there from the haskell platform
website :)
Features/caveats:
* it presupposes GHC-6.10.3 is installed from the binary distro. The
final release will bundle the two together in a .dmg file.
* it installs the platform libraries and executables to
/Library/Framework/HaskellPlatform.framework, registers the
libraries with GHC, and symlinks the binaries to /usr/local/bin
* I had to build the distro package by hand using Apple's GUI tool
because I can't figure out how to do it otherwise -- and not for
lack of trying, either, I reckon I've put 20-30 man-hours into
trying to figure it out -- thanks Apple! Similarly, for the life of
me I cannot figure out how to bundle GHC and the platform libs
together into one installer.
* There's some haddock documentation in there but I'm not sure how
nicely it's cross-linked.
* The code is a mess, I need to clean it up (and systematize the
process) before it's fit for inclusion into the project.
* I've done some (very) limited testing but given how difficult the
whole project has been, I fully expect problems.
Sorry about how long it's taken -- I'm getting married on Saturday (!)
so finding time to work on this has been difficult indeed.

Thanks Bulat.

Installation failed at step: run postinstall script for haddock-2.4.2. I wasn't sure how to debug this further.
