| Yes, there will be a release of Cabal/cabal-install together with GHC | 8.
Can I ask what will be in it? Specifically, I would love to know what you plan concerning the issues in this snip:
I've just posted a status update to the cabal-dev mailing list: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cabal.devel/10456 Cabal/cabal-install 1.24 will include Duncan's no-reinstall work in some form (likely a "technical preview"). The Cabal library parts have just been merged. Gershom's minimal HP patch is already in Cabal master. It's possible that cabal-install 1.24 will not be released simultaneously with Cabal 1.24, so the HP 8 release may also be delayed a little bit.
