Hello, cabal-install 1.16.0 and 1.16.0.1 have some serious bugs that one encounters rather quickly. For example, at work I wasted some time until I figured out that cabal was generating a 'Paths_' module that does not compile. Because of this, you can't even use it to install a newer version of itself, where the problem is fixed: you have to manually bootstrap the new version with the script!
I think it would be quite unfortunate to make yet another GHC release that ships with it, let alone add it to the Haskell platform. -Iavor * * * * On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 7:17 AM, Ian Lynagh <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 02:48:26PM +0100, Duncan Coutts wrote: > > > > In the absence of a GHC-7.6.3, I'm not sure if it's practical for the HP > > to bump the Cabal version. > > My proposal was 7.6.3 was a minimal release in a very short timeframe, > to just fix #7748.

If you think that 7.6.2+1.16.0 would be OK, then it sounds > like the fixes in 1.16.0.3 wouldn't be worth the risk (there are a > number of GHC fixes that we won't be merging either, for the same > reason). > > > Thanks > Ian > > > _______________________________________________ > ghc-devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs >
