This is yet another reminder to make new releases of Alex, Happy and Haddock rather soon (before anything from the SoC is merged to those tools). The reason is the slighty circular dependency graph of all the tools and GHC itself: Currently one needs non-released versions of the tools from darcs to build a GHC RPM, so things will get a bit tricky when Haddock requires a GHC API, which is only present in recent GHCs, which in turn needs... etc. etc. Of course this is only a slight annoyance when checking out and building by hand, but having designated versions of all involved tools is mandatory for automated build systems, like the one for openSUSE (and probably others). Cheers, S.
