GHC 8.2.1-rc1 source tarball availability

[David Feuer]

I'm not sure why you're trying to run things from the libffi directory. As far as I know, the test suite is normally run from ghc/testsuite.

I'd like to run the testsuite on macOS but I am having trouble following the documentation at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Running
Do I need to download something in addition to the source tarball or am I making some mistake?
Following is what I tried:
 pwd/Users/gcolpitts/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/libffi# doc says: The commands on this page can all be executed from the testsuite directory.bash-3.2$ find . -name testsuite./libffi/build/testsuite./libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuitebash-3.2$ pushd libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuite~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuite ~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404bash-3.2$ make testmake: *** No rule to make target `test'.

I am happy to announce the release of the 8.2.1-rc1 source distribution

to binary packagers.

It seems to build okay for me on Fedora 26 so far.

But the testsuite completely failed in timeout: see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13534

Cheers, Jens
