ANNOUNCE: Release candidate for 2009.2.0.2 OSX installer

[Gregory Collins]

Hi all,

The 2009.2.0.2 version of the Haskell Platform for OSX is available now
for limited testing:

    http://www.galois.com/~dons/platform/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2-i386.dmg

A Hac Phi (tm) product! Thanks to Don for slapping this up on the Galois
server.

Improvements:

  * linker errors should be a thing of the past now: I improved the
    build mechanism (topological sort of the dependency graph + being
    smarter about linking the proper versions)

  * postflight script errors re: a missing /usr/local/bin directory
    should be fixed

Issues remaining:

  * Leopard only -- Tiger is not supported and Snow Leopard is reported
    to fail due to a 32/64-bit incompatibility between GHC and XCode

  * Docs for the platform libraries still aren't linked in to the system
    docs (although Haddocks are built and get put into
    /Library/Framework/HaskellPlatform.framework/share/doc) -- if any
    Haddock experts can tell me how to do this, please email!

Please file any bug reports with the haskell platform Trac:

    http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/

If you're curious and would like to take a look, I've released my
installer scripts at:

Thanks,

G.
