Hi Folks,
We're finally in release-candidate mode for 6.4.2. Please grab a
snapshot and try it out:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/
(scroll to the bottom for the latest). The available builds are:
x86_64-unknown-linux (Fedora Core 5), i386-unknown-linux (glibc 2.3
era), and Windows (i386-unknown-mingw32).
There's a source snapshot if you want to build yourself - please try
this if you can, we need to make sure the source bundle builds cleanly.
One thing that Don, Ian and I were discussing was having a tarball of
the testsuite and nofib performance suite to go along with the official
6.4.2 release. This would make it easier for us to be consistent. Having
the testsuite go with the ghc release will mean we can be sure about
which tests we expect to fail on x86/amd64 and we can use that as a
comparison for the other arch ports.
I've put the testsuite bundle here:
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/ghc-testsuite-6.4.2.tar.gz
There are zero unexpected failures on x86/x86_64 on Linux. I think
there may be a few unexpected failures on Windows, but I've checked them
and they're not fatal.
I'll probably update nofib and make a bundle of that too. There are
currently a few bogus failures due to floating point wibbles.
If we could get a tarball of the testsuite out before the release then
we can send in our results for various arches and that could be included
into the know failures files for the testsuite that goes official
release. It'd give us a better sense of the state of things on each
arch. Perhaps we could record testsuite results for different arches on
the ghc wiki somewhere.
Sure, that's a good idea. I've left it a bit late to make any changes
to 6.4.2 based on anything you find, but it'll still be useful to record
the results for comparison with future versions.
Cheers,
Simon
