OK, if 10.6 and 10.7 work that should be fine. We talked about dropping 10.5, and I agree that this would be acceptable (I have one 10.5 system myself, but I can live with building from source). I was just asking whether we're blocked on 10.7 because I seem to remember something to that effect.

Hi there, I have 3 questions 1: will ghc for OSX be 64bit by default this time around? 2: is it going to be an issue that for a lot of the new OSX, gcc no longer exist, it's clang-gcc now. 3: any chance we can have uninstall instructions to uninstall previous versions? :) Thanks -- Omnem cre
