Hey Austin, Simon and I have been talking about fixing #8427 (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8427), but our current plan of action will involve interface file changes at least and maybe some invasive changes. A heads up!
Edward Excerpts from Austin Seipp's message of 2014-11-07 13:35:38 -0800: > Hi all, > > After some deliberation, we've decided that the STABLE freeze for 7.10 > will happen in approximately two weeks, on November 21st. We're hoping > to stick to this date closely, but do read below. > > This is perhaps a short time to freeze, but right now, we've only got > a couple things we're planning on focusing on for the next few weeks. > And these are really the major things we're waiting for. See below: > > - https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.10.1 > > These are just: > > - D155, LLVM 3.5 compatibility, > - D396 and D169, DWARF/source code note work. These are mostly in me > and Simon's court to do another review round, but I think will be OK > to get them in on time. > - D168, Partial type signatures. The ball is in Simon's court on this > one, but he's had several good rounds of discussion with Thomas etc > from what I understand. > > Based on our discussions earlier this week, I think these all will > make it just in time for the freeze. > > Nota bene: if there is *any* delay, it will be for these, as we picked > them as the highest priority in our own views. It is unlikely we will > delay any so people can sneak in a few other things. So, if you want > something of yours in, you better get me, Simon & Simon, Herbert, > etc's attention pronto! That way we'll have time to get it in first. > > To make things easier, we'll also be pushing the lhs->hs conversion > pretty soon so cherry picking/merges are easier, and do some other > cleanups. > > And outside of that, we've still been having a healthy flow of bug > fixes falling into the tree, which is great. So if you're just > bugfixing, please keep doing so - we'll be pulling bugfixes into the > tree continuously. > > We will also be pulling in submodule/library updates continuously, > like we did for the 7.8 branch. > > Let me know if you have questions, objections, or really really really > want something - but I won't be as nice as last time I'm afraid. ;) > _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
