What exactly is the unclear problem? Signalling the process of patching, or how the patching process works?
I'm not sure it's unclear. The problem is that the 00-index and the package now may contain different .cabal files for the same version of the package. This is a feature that apparently has been in the works for a while, but I wasn't aware of it until it bit me during an update yesterday (pandoc 1.13.1 is in this state on Hackage).
Cblrepo is written with the assumption that the 00-index and the source tar-ball on Hackage *always* contain the same .cabal. So it clearly needs some work before it's back to being usable again.
Silly me! There's a rather obvious work-around that will allow me updating while working on a more convenient way to deal with this. Another update is building as I write this now :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. -- The Peter Principle
