Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.0
[29.05.03] simonmar: The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.0 We are pleased to announce a new major release of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), version 6.0. A binary distribution, with prof docs, for x86 OpenBSD 3.3 is at: ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/6.0/ghc-6.0-i386-openbsd33.tar.bz2 Note: -current post-ELF users: GHC is now in the OpenBSD ports tree, and in future will be distributed via the ports system. cheers, Don ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
RE: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.0 (Broken Doc link)
In the release notes, the link to Data.Generics is broken, both under the latest branch and under the 6.0 branch. This is now fixed. Cheers, Simon ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

As with all .0 releases, this release should be considered beta-quality; if you want real stability, then stick with 5.04.3 for the time being. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/release-6-0.html (Is this the right place to send such notes?)

Just a small note: This was a buglet in System.Console.GetOpt.getOpt, which has been fixed since GHC 5.04.3. Consequently this does not happen if you use a GHC = 5.04.3 for compiling GHC 6.0. But to be on the safe side, SimonM has renamed the option, anyway... OK. The official ghc-6.0 binary distribution for Linux seems to have been built with ghc-4.08.2, hence the apparent fault. Was there a reason for choosing to bootstrap with such an old version?

Strange, isn't the official binary distribution a stage-2 compiler with ghci enabled? In this case, ghc-6.0 should have been compiled by itself, or am I missing something? Just surprised ...

Was there a reason for choosing to bootstrap with such an old version? The ghc-pkg utility was built with 4.08.2; GHC itself was bootstrapped. The reason is the new bootstrapping facility in the build system, which means that we don't have to compile the entire tree again for each bootstrapping stage - I hadn't considered that this might have disadvantages :-) Cheers, Simon ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.0
20030530()0006 Simon Marlow : We are pleased to announce a new major release of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), version 6.0. Thanks for the release! :-) I have built rpms of ghc-6.0 on Red Hat Linux 9. I didn't build the libraries with profiling this time, however the package includes the docs, the xlib binding from hslibs and hence green-card from cvs too (a number of patches/hacks were needed for this and they can be found in the nosrc rpm). The packages are currently lying at http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/~petersen/rpms/i386/ghc-6.0-1_rhl9.i386.rpm http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/~petersen/rpms/i386/ghc-doc-6.0-1.i386.rpm http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/~petersen/rpms/srpms/ghc-6.0-1.nosrc.rpm (Note the nosrc rpm doesn't include the ghc-6.0 tarball, you'll have to download that separately if you wish to rebuild the package.) Enjoy and let me know if you have any problems, Jens ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
