Who remembers HP 2013.4.0.0...?

[Tim C. Schroeder]

Hello Mark,

One of the major anticipated features of this HP release is the OS X 10.9 support. Since the GHC version won't change for this release, I assume that everybody is confident that 7.6.3 + a clang wrapper script is all that is required? I'm just a bit worried seeing bugs like this one: 

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8490

Would be a shame to get a HP release and then finding out that we'd really need a handful of fixes from 7.8 to get things fully working on 10.9.

Also, regarding OS 10.6 64bit:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8094
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8511

The current HP page lists OS X 10.6 64bit + XCode 4.1 as a supported, but from what I can tell from my two machines this has been broken ever since HP 2012.2.0.0. I think at least the download page should be updated to reflect this.

Thanks for the update and sorry if I'm just bringing up some points that have already been discussed / resolved.

Cheers,
Tim

I canvased the group last time and as I recall, everyone said they just used the .cabal file - and no one used the scripts. I plan to replace them with a new tool built for the needs of the tarball release, and ditch this old set of scripts.
