Release candidate specification for the 2010.2.0.0 release of the Haskell Platform is now available, the first encorporating GHC 6.12.3:

http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal

I’d like to compare this with the 2010.1.0.0 release, but the .cabal file is not linked from either http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/index.html nor http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html

I think the latter should be the place for such a link.

Oh, good point: Old: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.1.0.0/haskell-platform.cabal New(RC): http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal

Also, it seems you did not un-bump cgi in http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/NOTES-2010.2.0.0

It was still bumped by one minor version.

Thanks Don.

I just built the RC for Fedora 14:

RC for the Unix installer is here:

BTW I would rather have a small *nix tarball than a big one.

I don't understand this comment. $ du -hs haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0.tar.gz 1.9M haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0.tar.gz ??

Changes to watch for:

Core packages * array bumped. * base 4 bumped * bytestring bumped. * Cabal bumped * extensible-exceptions added * filepath bumped * hpc bumped * old-time bumped * process bumped * template-haskell bumped * unix bumped

Is there a process for approving bumps? I think time could use a bump (1.1.4 -> 1.2.0.3).

We can't clobber the version shipped with GHC though. Those that are shipped with GHC are special cases -- Don

Why not? Can't you ship both?

Well, yes, but you should never upgrade a boot library (otherwise you'll get the diamond dependency problem). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
