Attendees

(jappie) go through head.hackage categorise according to the 5 categories + as of today https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xNAn7qE1X7waI7lAIh9lOUKGuEb9HnRwGWNicaywASk/edit?usp=sharing + (spj) it'd be nice to know the reason why these broke + (spj) it'd be nice to know which of the TH breakages would be solved by the TH roadmap (eg 1,2,3 or 4) + (spj) it'd be best to add a column if it can be compiled with 9.8 (since we then started caring) (this maybe difficult to do however) + (trevis) add a column with when the patch was added (or date of last modification) + how large is the head.hackage package set (how stable are we?), this is to provide contextual information, with these patches applied you can compile all of this. + as of one year ago + as of two years ago + for now we'll add the causes first, then add more snapshots from later ago. Adding the date column would also help. + we want to have this in a more digestable form so we can announce it. Eg provide context such as tell how many packages there are in head.hackage
ghc 9.6.6
- Ask ghc-dev list about timelines given 9.12, 9.10 and 9.8 have no information
cabal 3.12.1.0
- Ask for a revision to release notes for clarity
