Cabal has the following branches:

HEAD, in darcs.haskell.org:/cabal, used by GHC HEAD 1.1.6, in darcs.haskell.org/cabal-branches/cabal-1.1.6 GHC 6.6 branch, in darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/packages/Cabal

The official 1.1.6 is diverging from GHC's 6.6 version. We should merge the two - Duncan would you like to take a look and see if you can pull from GHC's branch into 1.1.6, and then we can use 1.1.6 in GHC 6.6?

Also I just noticed that Ross's patch

Mon Nov 20 09:25:26 GMT 2006 Ross Paterson * trim trailing spaces (including CRs) from all input lines

fixes #117 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/117, and could easily be merged into 1.1.6.

This one sounds like it should be merged too: ----------------------- Sat Jan 6 07:28:14 PST 2007 sven.panne@aedion.de * Set the Cabal version when building via the fptools build system Without this patch, Cabal is effectively "version-less" and all .cabal files with a version requirement are unusable. Therefore I think that this patch (or at least something equivalent) should be pushed to the 6.6.1 branch, too. M ./Makefile -1 +2 ----------------------- Thanks Ian
