Gentle readers,
A point release of both Scripts and Compile is upcoming, probably this 
weekend. This is the first and hopefully last release candidate. The changes 
are mostly bugfixes, but there are also some improvements to the version-
handling for alien dependencies contributed by Kevin Quick.

This release candidate also includes a new Alien-Cabal wrapper to incorporate 
the Cabal packaging used by Haskell into the system. Its inclusion in the final 
release is contingent on a new GHC recipe with the appropriate configuration 
being available at that point. It is subject to removal and should not be 
relied upon until included in a final release.

The packages can be installed with:
 InstallPackage http://mwh.geek.nz/files/gobo/Scripts--2.10.1rc1--i686.tar.bz2
and
 InstallPackage http://mwh.geek.nz/files/gobo/Compile--1.13.1rc1--i686.tar.bz2

Please test these candidates and report any bugs you encounter. If there are 
no major issues, the final release will be early this weekend to be in time for 
LCA. The 015 tools branch *may* be merged into trunk at that point, but that 
is still up for discussion depending on how 015 progress is going.

Changelogs follow.

Scripts:
2010-01-11 16:03  mohjive

        * Resources/Defaults/Settings/Scripts/CompatibilityList,
          Resources/Dependencies, bin/PrepareProgram: Ported from 015
          branch:
          Do not break quoted options passed as arguments to
          PrepareProgram.
          Fix installation of man files for autotools projects that have
          not adopted FHS yet.
          Remove Python 3.x from dependencies range.
          It's ok to have Util-Linux-NG as a replacement for Util-Linux but
          the opposite is not true because of libblkid.

        * Functions/Archive: Fix Archive to handle oddly-named files using
          file like it tries to, which requires keeping the full path
          around.

2010-01-06 00:40  lucasvr

        * bin/Alien-LuaRocks, bin/Alien-RubyGems: Update RubyGems and

          from Kevin Quick.

2010-01-04 03:38  mwh

        * bin/CheckDependencies: Ask before installing Alien dependencies
          as well. Patch from Kevin Quick.

          Take Python 3.x out of the dependency range.

          Kevin Quick.

2009-12-30 22:34  mwh

        * Functions/BuildType_cabal: Finding Setup.{l,}hs needs to happen
