Is a release of GHC 6.2.2 planned? If yes, is there an approximate date for this?
GHC 6.4 is probably a bit far away, I guess.
The intention behind my question is getting my OpenGL stuff on the main branch
"out of the door" in a reasonable time frame. Currently I can see 4 options:
a) Wait for the new library infrastructure: Although this would be the cleanest
solution, it could take quite some time.
b) Wait for GHC 6.4 and/or a new Hugs release: Same problem as for a).
c) Provide nightly (or weekly) snapshots of GHC and/or Hugs including HOpenGL
for at least the major platforms (x86 Linux, WinDoze, MacOS X): This would
be a very good thing in itself, but we don't have such a mechanism currently.
Part of the problem is that the status of the ultra-secret tool used for
generating the *.msi on WinDoze is still unclear. (<= Hint! :-)
d) Merge the OpenGL stuff from the HEAD to the STABLE branch: This would be against
the spirit of the STABLE branch.
Although less than nice, I'd go for option d) if nobody yells and a GHC 6.2.2 is
not too far away. There were quite a few request for the OpenGL features in the
HEAD, but building from sources seems to be too daunting for most people.
Cheers,
S.
