Thank you for the release!

I have done test scratch builds for Fedora 19 Rawhide:

x86_64: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4921062
i686:   http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4921063
armv7:  http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1412219

Due to the Haskell Platform schedule being out of sync with Fedora's,
we will probably first see ghc-7.6 in a Fedora release towards the end of
this year.

ps Note the above builds do not have auto-generated library
interdependencies
and will disappear within a week. The "bootstrap" src rpm is also available
from
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-7.6/ghc-7.6.2-11.fc19.src.rpm [106MB]
which along with
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-7.6/ghc-rpm-macros-0.976.5-1.fc19.src.rpm
can generate correct dependencies for ghc-pkg-7.6.

pps Just wish the source tarball was a bit smaller! (~80% is mingw64)
