-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Matthias,
Thank you very much for your email. Ah, I see, I completely misjudged the problem. Well, I hope that the glorious haskell compiler does eventually make its return, and further that one day I might actually be of use in enabling it to do so! Thanks for your continued work on this! Yours &c., Tslil - ---- Preserved for the mailing list, here is Matthias' response in full: > Hi, > >> I was wondering what the state of the art was on arranging for ghc(i) to >> work on OpenBSD 5.6/7-BETA (snaphots).
