Is anyone else having trouble building 9.6.1 from upstream source.

a58c028a18 (HEAD -> ghc-9.6, tag: ghc-9.6.1-release, origin/ghc-9.6) Fix 
TBA in base changelog
1f5bce0db8 Set RELEASE=YES
87ab8e353f Bump haddock submodule to 2.28
...

My attempts on a Fedora 36 system are so far unsuccessful, with both GCC
and Clang-14 as the C compilers, and GHC 9.4.4 as the bootstrap GHC.

The build fails when "HsBase.h" is not found during the "stage1" build
of the ghc-bignum library.

Buy-in for technical proposal 47 which affect GHC devs

2023-03-12 Thread Laurent P . René de Cotret
Dear GHC developers,

In recent weeks, John Ericson has fine-tuned a Haskell Foundation Technical 
Proposal to split `base` into two libraries: `ghc-base` and `base`, the latter 
simply re-exporting everything for `ghc-base` (for now). You can read about the 
rationale and specifics more in details in the proposal itself: 
https://github.com/haskellfoundation/tech-proposals/pull/47

Note that this proposal has recently been streamlined into a form which is more 
focused than its initial state, and might be worth a re-read.

The Haskell Foundation Technical Working Group has reached a consensus that 
this work will benefit the Haskell community. Moreover, the Haskell Foundation 
has agreed to spend some of its resources to implement this proposal, which 
would start by ensuring the completion of MR7898 
(https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/7898).

This work will affect GHC developers. Therefore, the Technical Working Group 
would like to get buy-in from the GHC developers before formally accepting this 
proposal.

Best regards,
Laurent P. René de Cotret
on behalf of the Haskell Foundation Technical Working Group
