For what it's worth, I believe that all of the OS X-related build-breakers have been fixed; the the up-to-date HEAD works for me on 10.5, x86. If it doesn't for you, make sure you've used ./darcs-all to update all the packages like base that have recently had exception-related changes, and that you've followed Ian's instructions from: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2008-July/043767.html It seems like most of the recent build breakages have been with patches not being validated on a complete set of OSes (OS X and Windows, in particular). In last week's IRC meeting, Neil Mitchell mentioned: > i've always wondered why there isn't a pending repo, and patches get > moved from pending to branch after a the buildbots kick in? might ensure > you never end up with validation failures It seems to me that process would be more friendly to those of us who run different OSes than the primary GHC developers :-) By the way: is there anyone able to host an OS X x86 buildbot? It seems like a decently-sized hole in our testsuite. I'd offer to run it, but my iMac isn't powered on 24/7.
