Hi everybody, As I mentioned earlier, one of my first objectives would be finish up the sprint work in the unstable branch and then merge the two branches. I think we have reached a point where it is safe to call the sprint work finished and collapse the two branches.
Unfortunately, the buildbot isn't completely quite green yet, but this time the errors involved seem to be temporary (machines being upgraded and what not). So it's green enough! Many thanks to Petr, Karel, Zooko, Trent and many others who have helped make this happen. I think this means that we can now consider the sprint work complete and merge the two branches. Developers ========== Since we only have one maintainer now, we will be going back to the streamlined one-repository model. Please send patches to http://darcs.net from now on. I'll update the motd on the unstable branch accordingly Users ===== The next time you pull from http://darcs.net you may encounter a few problems. To avoid them, just make maintainer-clean and install QuickCheck 2.1. For more details, see below. target file `install' has both : and :: entries. ------------------------------------------------ The Makefile has recently been changed to use the :: syntax for easier to maintain targets; however some parts of the makefile are autogenerated and you need to recreate them. Your best bet is to make maintainer-clean; autoconf; ./configure; and make module `main:ThisVersion' is defined in multiple files: src/ThisVersion.hs -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some autogenerated files have been renamed. Make clean will take care of this QuickCheck 2.1 required ----------------------- You can upgrade to QuickCheck 2.1 by downloading the tarball http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/QuickCheck/2.1.0.1/QuickCheck-2.1.0.1.tar.gz Hopefully somebody like Trent will come up with a ./configure --i-promise-not-to-unit-test switch to disable this QuickCheck check and its makefile consequences Notes: * if you're running GHC 6.6, you should be able to copy and paste the instructions at http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/GHC6.6 to help you make this upgrade. * cabal-install users: cabal upgrade quickcheck may not work because there is a special exception to prevent people from unintentionally upgrading their quickcheck version. cabal upgrade 'quickcheck >= 2' should do the trick some non-essentials (Cabal 1.6 and zlib 0.5) -------------------------------------------- If you want to try out the Cabal-based build, then you should upgrade your version of the Cabal library and also the Haskell zlib library as well. Those of you using the cabal-install command, please: cabal upgrade cabal-install zlib (Only the Cabal library needs to be upgraded, but if you are going to do this upgrade, you might as well upgrade cabal-install at the same time) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
