Hi,

I've prepared another RC, including some fixes. This one is based on 9f374ab45e62924506b992db9157c970c7259a03 on the master branch. If we don't see any problems with this RC the next few days, I'll release it as 1.18.

Again, to install the RC just run:

cabal install http://johantibell.com/files/Cabal-1.18.0-rc2.tar.gz http://johantibell.com/files/cabal-install-1.18.0-rc2.tar.gz

These are the changes since RC1:

9f374ab Give the xxx_HOST_OS and xxx_HOST_ARCH options that were probed from ghc's target platform, rather than assuming HOST == BUILD. This fixes things for cross compiling. 0bd367f Fix the 'index.cache' up-to-date check. 323460e Unit tests: use configure GHC 473f76a Merge pull request #1440 from 23Skidoo/ghc-info-ignore-ghc-options 85cb83d Merge pull request #1441 from 23Skidoo/repl-extralibs 2d938de Rename 'pref' to 'libTargetDir'. d9283d2 Rearrange the code a bit. 7802fa0 Ignore 'ghc-options' when parsing 'ghc --info' output. 218c6bb Add 'suppressOverrideArgs'. 43624cf Formatting. a3bbf4c Pass linker options when loading *libraries* in GHCi. c977ddd Merge changes from GHC HQ fork 5fa5c41 Merge branch 'master' into roles dd3ca38 Fix link to users' guide. 2803d87 Added a new extension (RoleAnnotations) to the list

fyi: I just hit this issue today (more details in the ticket): https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1009 It seems to be an important ticket to get fixed before the final release and there is ongoing work in Zurihac to address it. -- yuri On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 7:12 PM, Mikhail Glushenkov < the.dead.shall.rise@gmail.com> wrote:

Seems to work fine on Windows (tested with GHC 7.6.3), although there are 4 spurious test suite failures (dist/build/lemon/lemon is executed instead of dist/build/lemon/lemon.exe and the output is parsed incorrectly in one case).

Also seems to work fine with GHC 7.2. I've fixed the test suite failures.
