Hi Gergely, > I just wanted to ask you what will be the plan for the 7.8 transition > once it's out from GHC HQ?
personally, I like the notion of switching the default compiler from 7.6.3 to 7.8.1 as soon as possible. I've already begun testing builds with the current release candidate: http://hydra.cryp.to/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates We have some 60+ failing builds standing in the way, though. Some package authors are very responsive if I send them a bug report, but others say that they won't fix anything until the 7.8.1 release is out. Considering that situation, we'll probably need a few weeks to stabilize the package set *after* the 7.8.1 release before we can switch. Does that sound like a reasonable plan?
