Hi Folks,
6.8.3 is nearing release, and we have an outstanding bug affecting
the GHCi on the BSDs:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2013
We need someone to help out with this. The patch in the ticket
apparently works, but can't be committed as is because it isn't
correctly #ifdef'd and will presumably break other platforms. Also
it needs to be tested on OpenBSD/NetBSD in addition to FreeBSD.
I don't have access to a *BSD machine right now, and I don't have
the time available to set one up. If someone can donate a temporary
account then that would be helpful, but most helpful would be if
someone could work with us to get this bug fixed in time for 6.8.3
(i.e. the next few days). Otherwise, we have to release with the bug
still in, which would be bad.
Cheers,
Simon
I have a FreeBSD 7.0/x86_64 machine I can test this on. Should the
patch be applied to the
6.8.3 release candidate tarball, or just the head of the 6.8.x branch?
