Hi all, After all the paranoia and double-checking, the source tarballs are online:
https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.3/ NOTE: if the others making binary distributions wouldn't mind, could you please also create .tar.xz's of your builds? In practice the last time I did this, but repackaging the .bz2's into .xz's on my side took a significant amount of time and CPU (several hours, actually, because xz is very CPU intensive at level 9 compression). As a result, if you all could do it, that would be nice, to help parallelize the workload a bit. You can create a .xz along with a .bz2 by saying: $ make binary-dist # create bz2 $ make binary-dist TAR_COMP=xz # create xz This will put both the .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz in the working directory of your build tree. If you can't or don't want to take the time, I can of course repackage them, but it would be nice. Thanks everyone, let's get this over with...
