+
+## High-level Summary
+
+This sprint, work on releasing GHC 9.6.7 and on building GHC with Cabal has
+continued. GHC 9.6.7 should be released very soon now. We can now build GHC and
+boot libraries with cabal-install, paving the way to reinstallable boot
+libraries.
+
+## Details
+
+Luite: has completed the GHC 9.6.7 release. See
+[GHC#25559](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/25559) and
+[GHC!13740](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/13740).
+
+Sylvain: worked on bootstrapping GHC and boot libraries with cabal-install. I
+managed to build a stage2 non-cross compiler with it. There are still a lot of
+rough edges to improve though. See
+[stable-haskell:ghc#3](https://github.com/stable-haskell/ghc/pull/3)
+
+Sylvain: the merge of the `ghc-prim` package into `ghc-internal` has finally be
+completed. See [GHC#24453](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24453)
+and [GHC!13752](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/13752)
