This will be going in once my staging repo (GHC 6.8) is happy. It may be a good idea to recruit GHC 6.12 volunteers for the buildbot. > Sun Dec 13 21:46:13 GMT 2009 Ganesh Sittampalam <[email protected]> > * bump dependency upper bounds for GHC 6.12 > > Sun Dec 13 21:46:53 GMT 2009 Ganesh Sittampalam <[email protected]> > * add GADTs to witnesses build > Sun Dec 13 23:30:23 GMT 2009 Ganesh Sittampalam <[email protected]> > * remove unnecessary OPTIONS_GHC from Darcs/Commands/Record These seem fairly straightforward. > Sun Dec 13 23:29:22 GMT 2009 Ganesh Sittampalam <[email protected]> > * add ImpredicativeTypes to extensions > This is needed to build on GHC 6.12. > Before 6.14, we need to drop our uses of impredicativity as > this is now deprecated. I'm pushing this one without learning what impredicative types are.
