Hi Magnus,
is there a reason for dropping those packages? If some package fail to build in ghc 7.6 we will lost as well many packages in [haskell-extra]. I'm concerned especially about gtk, pandoc and wai/warp: they are needed for packages like hakyll, gitit and the yesod suite among others.
If there aren't important reasons to switch to 7.6, could you please wait a little more before make this change?
I've just finished building glib/pango/gtk for x86_64, so this is getting to be less and less of an issue :) With the recent announcement of GHC making it into [testing]/[community-testing] there ought to be a few more patches to "steal" for use in [haskell]. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay
