Any other package/version issues?
One question: are we going to use GHC 7.4.1 or wait for 7.4.2? There was some talk about releasing 7.4.2 before June [1]. > Please think about getting your build procedure automated, documented, and > in the repo.

In the meantime, sources of the Windows installer are available on GitHub [2]. > 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.

I don't plan to do any major changes to the Windows installer besides fixing the long-standing partially missing documentation issue [3].
