 You can download snapshots from here:
 
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/
 
 Right now we have the source bundles:
 
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.20070912-src.tar.bz2
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.20070912-src-extralibs.tar.bz2

Seems there is a missing do in compiler/main/InteractiveEval.hs on
line 334.

 That's 6.8, right? Or have I missed something?

No, it's 6.8.1:

Thanks for the report! It will be fixed in the next snapshot.

RE: FFI Bindings to Libraries using GMP

2007-09-13 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
I won't be at the hackathon I fear (and neither will Simon M) but I jotted down 
some notes about how to replace GMP with a Haskell library

 No, it's 6.8.1:
 
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/version-numbering.html

Seems like something is wrong with this version number though:

Snapshots beginning with 6.8.20070909 are release candidates for 6.8.1

In many version numbering schemes, 6.8.20070909 would be a higher
version than 6.8.1.

According to policy:

Stable snapshot releases are named x.y.z.MMDD. where MMDD
is the date of the sources from which the snapshot was built, and
x.y.z+1 is the next release to be made on that branch. For
example, 6.8.1.20040225 would be a snapshot of the 6.8 branch
during the development of 6.8.2.

*Main let version (x,y,z+1) date = concat [ show x, ., show y, ., show z, 
., date]
*Main version (6,8,1) 20070909
6.8.0.20070909

;)

You are right, thanks. I'll fix it.
