test build of current ghc-7.8
Hi, I did a test build [1] of the current ghc-7.8 branch for Fedora 21 devel, which I think should also install to Fedora 20. I put the packages for x86_64, i386 and armv7hl into the yum repos under http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.7/ I haven't tested this latest build yet but wanted to announce its availability. Let me know if you hit any packaging problems with it. Jens ps I also upload the ghc-7.8.0.20140201 src tarball to http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc/ if you want to use to build yourself. pps Next time I will build it in copr.fedoraproject.org which creates yum repos for one (like OBS).

ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.8.1 Release Candidate 1
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.8.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc1/ http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc1/html/ This includes the source tarball and bindists for Windows, Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris, on x86 and x86_64. There is a signed copy of the SHA256 hashes available (attached) using my GPG key (keyid 0x3B58D86F). We plan to make the 7.8.1 RC2 release quite soon, as we're aware of some existing issues. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/ SHA256SUMS Description: Binary data SHA256SUMS.sig Description: Binary data ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

wrt existing issues, is there a list of these so we can avoid reporting them?

Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.8.1 Release Candidate 1
Just to note a problem I encountered on Windows, which may well be user error. I unpacked the mingw tarball and added the bin directory from it to my path. cabal install then failed with cabal.exe: does not exist after producing some other output. Running with -v3 suggested that the actual problem was that the ld on my path couldn't read the .o files produced by GHC. I changed my path to also include the mingw\bin directory from the tarball, and then all was fine.

Please note that GHC 7.8.1RC1 is also available for Travis-CI as part of the multiple-ghc-versions repository[1]. So you can start continuously testing your Haskell projects hosted at GitHub with GHC 7.8.1RC1 with little effort.
