Hi Ben,
count with me. I always thought it may be a good idea to allow some time to builders to do their job. For me this means few hours for i386/amd64 solaris build and test and unfortunately about a day (~10 hours) of noisy run for sparc solaris build but I'll do it last time since I hope 7.12 will have fixed SPARC NCG which should cut the time to half or I'll buy faster sparc gear. :-)
Generally speaking Monday morning is the best time for me. Then Wednesday. Cheers, Karel On 07/10/15 04:46 PM, Ben Gamari wrote:
Hi GHCers, So 7.10.2 is, believe it or not, slowly converging. After finding and fixing a number of regressions since 7.10.1 (including, unfortunately, a few only found this week), I think we finally have a source tree that could possibly be called 7.10.2. I have been in communication with Herbert, who has built .debs from a snapshot of the ghc-7.10 branch. They are currently available on his PPA [1] (see the ghc-7.10.2-7.10.1.20150710-0 debs). Michael will be using these to do a trial-build of Stackage. Hopefully by Monday we will have a pretty good idea of whether the tree is fit for release. When all of this happens we will be ready to cut the release. As usual, I will be doing binary builds for 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows. As I understand it, a subset of you have in the past offered binary builds for other platforms, * Mark: Mac OS X, some Haskell Platform platforms * Pali: FreeBSD * Karel: Solaris Would you be willing to do this again? Ideally we would have these packages available the day of the release. Assuming we can get a final, Stackage-validated source tarball by Monday, when do you think we could have all of these prepared? I'm willing to hold off announcing the release until late next week or all of these releases are available, whichever happens first (unless there is widespread agreement within this group that this is not enough time).
