-
The Haskell Platform is a single, standard Haskell distribution for
every system, in the form of a blessed library and tool suite for
Haskell distilled from the thousands of libraries on Hackage, along
with installers for a wide variety of systems. It saves developers
work picking and choosing the best Haskell libraries and tools to use
for a task.

When you install the Haskell Platform, you get the latest stable
compiler, an expanded set of core libraries, additional development
tools, and cabal-install – so you can download anything else you need
from Hackage.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Download Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0:

http://haskell.org/platform/


It's a relatively minor thing, but I noticed that the above URL redirects to

   http://hackage.haskell.org/platform//

which is incidentally considered a different URL from

   http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/

by Google's +1 service. Perhaps not surprisingly,
http://haskell.org/platform redirects to the latter, single-/ Hackage URL.

Regards,
Sean

Congratulations on the release!

Thank you for all the hard work and great to see it come
out in this timely manner. :-)

 It's a relatively minor thing, but I noticed that the above URL redirects to

    http://hackage.haskell.org/platform//

 which is incidentally considered a different URL from

    http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/

 by Google's +1 service. Perhaps not surprisingly,
 http://haskell.org/platform redirects to the latter, single-/ Hackage URL.

I can reproduce this with Chrome, but not Firefox.

Equally surprising to me is that the number of slashes
also seems to affect the CSS presentation of the website
in Chrome.

// seems to give the Summer theme,
whereas / gives the Winter one!

Kind of weird.  Anyway I agree it would be better to avoid
the superfluous slashes if possible.


I am going build HP 2012.2 for Fedora 18 soon but
the first proper build may be after ghc-7.4.2 is released.

Your browser might be caching the file. Try pressing Ctrl-F5 on the winter page.

Your browser might be caching the file. Try pressing Ctrl-F5 on the
winter page to force a reload.
