Hi The GHC 6.10.3 installer is 100% useless to me (and my colleagues) - GHC 6.10.4 has two critical fixes in, for fatal problems which we're hitting on an at least an hourly basis. The Haskell platform can be a convenient way to get a standardised set of packages, but if cabal install package

6.10.4 is a bug fix release. A bug fix release cannot remove packages no matter what state the platform is in, that's just seriously broken. On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 7:44 AM, Don Stewart d...@galois.com wrote: Not part of the core libs, so these are slowly disappearing from the extralibs

It turns out that those variables are there to allow relocation, in fact $topdir is expanded by Distribution.Simple.GHC.getInstalledPackages, it seems that $httptopdir has been overlooked. I'd be tempted to say that it's ghc-pkg dump/describe responsibility to expand those vars instead,

Lazy computation being repeated?

2009-05-27 Thread Tyson Whitehead
I have a program that seems to me to be exhibiting strange behaviour. Basically, it looks like something somewhere is not being updated, and this is resulting in (very expensive) computation being repeated. The program in question goes like so. The results from the expensive calculation are
