I don't really want to have these packages in [testing] or [extra] before darcs and cabal-install have official compatible releases : cherry-picking patches was not exactly straightforward.

Are those the only things you are waiting for still, darcs and cabal-install?

Yes, only those. I think we can keep current darcs binary, since it's statically linked, but I'm not really sure about cabal-install. What is your opinion on that ?

Since cabal-install is part of HP I expect that the version specified in HP 2011.2.0.0 *will* compile with the version of GHC specified :-) It looks like what we have now is good, but let's keep it in [staging] for now. Hopefully the final version of HP won't require huge changes. I think that moving GHC7 + other packages to [extra] can happen as soon as HP 2011.2.0.0 is released. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
