Thanks, but I didn't get an already working cabal at that time, maybe I should be trying install the cabal package from pkgsrc repository of SmartOS, but since the latest GHC of version 7.6.3 has been withdrawn from latest repository, I guess that's not preferable.

Anyway I've managed to build GHC 8.6.5 from source and bootstrapped its bundled cabal-install, then have itself upgraded to 3.0.0.0.

I find out later that cabal-install bundled with GHC 8.8.2 is just an rc, and figured out that to have cabal-install bootstrapped by GHC 8.8, I'd better wait for the 3.2 release.

Cheers,

Compl

I wonder what's the official way to do it?

btw, I don't know why I can not send msg to the freenode #cabal channel:

(15时11分28秒) ComplYue: ping (15时11分28秒) Cannot send to nick/channel

Thanks with best regards,

Compl
