Binaries are outdated in the HaskellWiki

[bruno-cadorette]

It would be nice to be able to download the latest version of the program

https://wiki.haskell.org/ThreadScope#Binary_releases

Github releases mechanism is not a bad one for binaries. It seems I have sufficient access rights to update the github releases page and redirect the wiki link to release_latest, if somebody volunteers to prepare the binaries.

I give +1 for x64 Windows build, because little bit larger profiles cannot be seen on x86 build.

[varosi]

+1 even for x86 Windows builds of latest 2.7 version.

[tmcgilchrist]

+1 for having pre-built binaries.

I've poured hours into trying to get this building under OSX with little success.

[varosi]

Here I have built 0.2.7 (0_2_7 GIT tag) x64 with GHC 8.0.2 against LTS-8.9: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7E9nsYnaKCcQnBNUUlXcU9sRFE/view?usp=sharing

If someone could check if everything is in-place and upload it to the Wiki it will be cool.

[varosi]

master branch is incompatible with latest LTS-8.9, because of ghc-events 0.5 dependency which is not in LTS, yet.

[varosi]

hm, there is a problem with finding .ui file on another machine. So I have to find where to tell it to search it.

[varosi]

Problem is fixed. You could find binary distributable here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7E9nsYnaKCcQnBNUUlXcU9sRFE

@Mikolaj, could you update it on the Wiki?

[varosi]

hm, is that project dead? No one answer here.

[Mikolaj]

@varosi: I'm sorry, I missed your first ping. No, the project is not dead; it just has a very busy maintainer (@simonmar). As soon as I'm able to run this binary under wine (or one of the contributors with a Windows machine manages to run it and/or scan for viruses) I will somehow publish it. Thank you and I apologize again for ignoring you. :)

[Mikolaj]

Yay, it runs under wine (from the bin/ directory). I've uploaded it to https://github.com/haskell/ThreadScope/releases and linked from https://wiki.haskell.org/ThreadScope#Binary_releases. Thanks again!

We are still waiting for OS X binaries, though...

[varosi]

I have pushed pull request about how it could be builded easily under Windows with Stack, too.

[varosi]

I don't see it at https://wiki.haskell.org/ThreadScope#Binary_releases link is still the older: Windows: threadscope-0.2.2.zip

[Mikolaj]

Yes, I left the old link, but I mentioned it's old and pointed to the new location. If you have suggestions re wording, please share.

The PR looks very handy. I'm sure the maintainer will incorporate all or potions of it next time a release is prepared.
