release timing

[Simon Peyton Jones]

This time 'round I'd like to do a HP 7.10.2 concurrent with GHC 7.10.2! Crazy, I know, and who knows if we can pull it off....

Good plan!

In Austin’s last GHC Weekly News we asked if anyone had any constraints on the release of GHC 7.10.2.  So far as I know, no one replied.  So the current status is that we’ll hold it until someone says “getting 7.10.2 out really matters to me”.  Other things being equal, the longer we wait, the more fixes will be in.

But does anything stand in the way of pressing the button on the HP build, so that you have a HP 7.10.2 ready to go?  You can always press the button again if/when further fixes go in.

I'm wondering if ghc 7.10.2 has a rough time table yet?

This time 'round I'd like to do a HP 7.10.2 concurrent with GHC 7.10.2! Crazy, I know, and who knows if we can pull it off....

But I imagine it is about 3 or 4 week cycle for HP at this point (still)... so a few weeks' "heads up" would be good. Thoughts?
