@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsternithe answer seems to be: detective work10:42:24
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterniit is also extremely annoying to tell what versions of GHC a commit has been backported to10:42:49
@teoc:matrix.orgTeo (he/him)Once you find the MR then you should be able to know the backporta since release managers leave comments when stuff gets backported, but all of it is so much friction. I occasionally consider writing a little web service to get this type of info11:01:37
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterniI guess best bet is to go via the linked issue if there's one in the commit message since that's a requirement now11:04:31
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni maralorn: Cabal-syntax is reinstallable, ghc not; so that's probably the reason 11:05:00

Good point

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni emily: would you look at that https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/50842f83f467ff54dd22470559a7af79d2025c03 17:30:44
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsternithough I think it fails at configure time (?)17:31:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily😅17:31:54
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilygood timing I suppose17:32:00
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think it was already a warning before17:32:33
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI guess they made it an error and then reverted that?17:32:43
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterniyeah sounds like it, tbh I linked this before I read the diff17:37:14
