Done: Sat Jun 7 19:26:00 BST 2008 Duncan Coutts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Use a smarter preference when picking a Cabal lib to build Setup.hs Instead of just using the latest version we use the best version according to the following preferences in priority order: - the same version as cabal-install was itself built with - the same major version number as cabal-install was built with - a stable version of Cabal (even second digit of major number) - the latest version Duncan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
