Don and I discussed the updated. I've updated the wiki and I'll update the .cabal file in just a sec. http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/2009.2 Basically, the changes for 2009.2.0.2 are to update GHC to 6.10.4 and to use the latest network bug-fix release. No other changes. However since the extra-lib builds of ghc-6.10.4 include different versions of network and time than what we are specifying for 2009.2.0.2 then we have to decide what to do. What we have decided that for platforms where we ship the entire kaboodle (ie win, osx, distros, everything except the generic unix installer) that we will nuke the existing versions where they differ. Specifically: ghc-6.10.4 includes time-1.1.3 and network-2.2.1.2 but we will be shipping time-1.1.2.4 and network-2.2.1.3. So if you start from a ghc-6.10.4 build which includes those other versions then remove them before building the new versions. We do not want to distribute two versions. For the generic unix installer we assume the machine has ghc-6.10.4 already. If time-1.1.3 and network-2.2.1.2 are present then we will ghc-pkg hide them and install the platform versions.
