Packaging bug with GHC 9.10.1 for Windows

Summary

The archive file for GHC 9.10.1 for Windows is about 80% larger than for GHC 9.6.3 to 9.8.2. This appears to be because duplicate copies of files have been included. For example:

  • GHC 9.8.2 lib\bin is 67 MB on disk. For GHC 9.10.1 it is 581 MB.
  • GHC 9.8.2 lib\lib does not exist. For GHC 9.10.1 it exists and is 1.08 GB on disk.
  • GHC 9.8.2 lib\doc is 132 KB on disk. For GHC 9.10.1 it is 775 MB.

Environment

  • GHC version used: 9.10.1

Optional:

  • Operating System: Windows
  • System Architecture: x86_64
