0.1.17.5

The main motivation of this release is making it compatible with the new binary distribution of HLS, which is upcoming soon and will be a dynamically linked distribution. Also see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/2739.

There are some new features and bugfixes too.

Looks to be a bit broken on macOS-arm64. After upgrading, any attempt to invoke ghcup ends in immediate failure. Clean install fails similarly:

Has anyone got it working on macOS/arm64? Maybe I’ve screwed my environment somehow. Alternatively, what would help to debug this?

Yes, there seems to be an issue with code signing with stripped binaries, which @simonmic already reported. I have updated said binary and cleaned up the references.

Please just re-run the installer script:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

The binary now will still emit a security warning (which you can somehow disable in system settings), but it won’t crash anymore.

I ran into the same issue and using the updated installer script does not resolve the issue:
$ curl --proto ‘=https’ --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

Any ideas how the get the installation fixed? 

Thank you in advance

I’m assuming you’re on mac? There’s some info from @simonmic about manually signing binaries: ghcup mac binaries should be signed (#318) · Issues · Haskell / ghcup-hs · GitLab

Although I thought that shouldn’t be required, because we’re not stripping anymore.

So you could try something like codesign -s - ~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup
