IRC meeting
IRC Meeting today at 1600 UK time as usual (1500 UTC, 0800 PDT, 1100 EDT). A couple of suggestions for topics; - HEAD stability (re previous disccusion on cvs-ghc) - mechanics of the git switchover Cheers, Simon ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
Re: Weekly IRC meeting?
The IRC meeting will be held today at 16:00 UK time as usual (there wasn't any support for moving it to 21:00). Simon PJ is back from holiday and should make it this time. Any suggestions for discussion topics? One idea we have is to talk about the GHC API.

Re: Weekly IRC meeting?
It would be nice if we could make some more progress on the revision control issue from last week. I don't know if people are ready to actually make a choice of RCS at this stage, but I've tried to make all the information necessary to make a choice available at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsEvaluation, along with the URLs of the conversions of the GHC repo to all those formats. Concretely, a decision needs to be made on: 1) Choice of RCS, so we can start researching how to do the Trac integration / replace darcsweb, and start converting infrastructure ready for the changeover 2) A timetable for conversion to the new RCS All the best, Max 2008/7/30 Simon Marlow [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The IRC meeting will be held today at 16:00 UK time as usual (there wasn't any support for moving it to 21:00).

For this week's discussion, one topic on the table is whether to switch version control systems, which I'm sure will make for a lively debate :) Perhaps we could have an ever evolving wiki page with the when/where/agenda/logs. I've started a rough one [1]; I put it in the general Haskell wiki because these topics certainly aren't confined to GHC. Thomas [1] http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Weekly_Meeting Hmm, well I did intend these meetings to be focussed mainly on issues relating to GHC, rather than a general Haskell discussion which could be held on #haskell separately. By all means start a more general Haskell meeting too, but I want to keep this one for GHC. The VCS debate is about what system GHC should use, not the community as a whole. The HLP discussion is on topic because it is so closely related to how we release/package/ship GHC.
