Folks, it's time for HP 2012.2.0.0. I'll be your release manager this round, so sit up, get out those compilers and start building....
Actually, here's what I'm planning: This weekend (May 5-6) 1. Triage the bug list,<http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/report/1>It would be great if you have bugs there (by you, for you, or of interest to you), if you'd check and update the info in the next few days. 2. Prepare a trial-balloon package and version list. If you have specific requests, send 'em to me. I don't think we are anticipating any additions or drops this time 'round... though I understand that OpenGL may be a bit of problem. Any other package/version issues? Beyond a blessed list of versions, HP is of course "ready to wear" software, which is needs to get built and distributed for a variety of OS platforms. If you are helping / wrangling / doing the heavy lifting for a particular platform, please: 1. Add yourself to the bottom section of the members page<http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/Members>on the wiki. 2. Please get familiar with the new repo location on GitHub<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform> . 3. Please think about getting your build procedure automated, documented, and in the repo. See, for example the README<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/src/macos/README>and Makefile<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/src/macos/Makefile>for the mac build. Even where there are manual steps required (thank you Package Maker), the Makefile walks the builder though it. 4. Please let us/me know if there is any major planned change to the packaging. For example, last time I wrote an uninstaller for the Mac. This took some time, and I'd like to know what we're up against this time. (Speaking of which... anyone want to look at that uninstaller<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/src/macos/UninstallHS.hs>and consider generalizing it to other OS platforms?) I'm aiming for us to have this one out by the end of May. In the imortal words of the Red Power Ranger: "Let's do this!" - Mark "mzero" Lentczner
