Starting with GHC 7.8.x, fingerprints are written into annotated & gpg-signed release tags: http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/tag/refs/tags/ghc-7.8.3-release That way you're able to restore via the fingerprint for a given release via: ./utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py restore -f <(git show ghc-7.8.3-release | grep -F '|') I'm just surprised I couldn't find that described anywhere in the wiki, I was sure it was written down somewhere... hth, hvr _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
