Folks, I have been preparing a 2012.2.0.0 distro for RHEL/SL/CentOS 5/6 and Fedora Core 16 and have working copies which I am testing. (Note this is a Just Hub distro[1], structured quite differently form the Fedora one, but can be deployed alongside it.) I expect to have betas up over the weekend. (The EL5 and EL6 releases are up already but may be tweaked yet.)
I had to make some changes to the pre-release branch (which could be pulled from https://github.com/cdornan/haskell-platform/tree/pre-release): * src/generic/tarball/packages/core.packages (also NOTES-2012.2.0.0): renamed haskell2000 => haskell2010 removed random removed Win32 * src/generic/tarball/configure.ac top definitions updated for 2012.2.0.0/7.4.1 Other than that I have bumped xhtml to the just-released xhtml-3000.2.1. As the version number indicates this is a modest widening of the API from 3000.2.0.5 to fix a hole (see the libraries mailing list). The only issue I have encountered is with GLUT. GLUT-2.1.2.1 built with GHC-7.4.1 seems to have lost the ability to link programs without being told which libraries to use (-lHSGLUT-2.1.2.1 -lglut). 2.1.2.1 works fine with 7.0.4 for me, as does 2.3.0.0 with 7.4.1 but not 2.1.2.1 built with 7.4.1. I haven't had the opportunity to look any further at this.
