Hi Bryan,
Thanks for building rc1 of ghc-6.12 (I had been planning to wait for rc2 before building for f13 rawhide - I would have sent you my working ghc.spec too but anyway hopefully you didn't have to duplicate too much of the remaining work that I hadn't yet easily merged into cvs for it.)
BTW I had quite forgotten you disabled ppc for f12. I know ppc has a few issues but I didn't see any big reason to do that. For F13 ppc is now a secondary arch anyway.
Our SIG is still rather small and young - I think it would be good if we could do a meeting on IRC once in a while to stay better in touch and communicate more.

Heh, it didn't take all that long.

I don't remember what the reason was, other than "it doesn't work" (but the details certainly escape me).

That would be interesting, although possibly not very often useful :-)

That's good then - I guess I must have spent most of my time on the shared libraries side... anyway I will try to merge in my changes today or so hopefully.
But the 6.12.1 release (even rc2) still seems to be some way off... hopefully we won't need to update 6.10.4 in dist-f13 before that.

Ok, well it works (mostly;) so I'll bring it back. (Always good to put the details into the changelog... I am guessing you dropped it because of the ghci ppc bug.)

Right I guess we won't know until we try - it needn't be long. Maybe just 15-25min say. I think increasing communication is always useful. I guess the main obstacle is finding a time that suits most of us. Would you or anyone like to suggest one?
