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


which is incidentally considered a different URL from


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

Congratulations on the release!

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

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.

I better take this part back: it may well have been some browser
caching issue. :-|  (Thanks, Arlen.)  After some Ctrl-Shift-R's I
can't reproduce any more, so please ignore this bit.

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.

The link to the cabal file in the changelog points to github.com,
while the previous version was (a darcs repository) on code.haskell.org.

Is there any chance to either also update the latter, too? Or just
to remove it and decide on where the official haskell-platform.cabal
file will reside in the future?

Ciao,

Thanks

I finally managed to get my new monolithic Fedora build with
subpackaging working.
Haskell Platform might be the hardest package I have ever subpackaged...
Then again I don't think anyone else subpackages ghc fully?

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4131404

The build takes about 20 minutes but that is still a lot faster
then building all the packages individually in the buildsystem.

My hope is that using the monolithic package will make
it easier to bootstrap for ghc updates and to test and experiment
with HP in the future.  But I still haven't made a final decision
yet on changing Fedora 18 to use the single source package.

The binary packages are available at
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_4131404/
or you can rebuild the src rpm locally if you wish to test it.

The monolithic package is now checked into the master branch of Fedora
package git:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=haskell-platform.git;a=tree

Latest test build which should actually be sane and install correctly is:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4139615

I am hoping to build the package into F18 Rawhide next week probably
after updating some more packages in git and testing first.
