I think Neil means here that you can't write a .cabal file, for code that uses Data.ByteString, that will work unchanged with ghc 6.4 and ghc 6.6, since the module is in a different package in each case. So, I'd probably rephrase that as "Due to cabal limitations ..." -- Don _______________________________________________ Yhc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/yhc
