Looks OK, thanks for doing this.

Thanks for putting that together, Johan! Is anyone doing new releases for GHC 7.10? cabal-install needs the filepath dependency bumped, at least. GHC-7.10.1-rc3 is actually shipping an unreleased version of Cabal, so I think we should release that ASAP so the final version can be included in ghc-7.10.1. I volunteer to do these releases, so if one of you has already started, please speak up! Otherwise, please alert me if you have any blocking issues; AFAIK there are none at this time. -- Thomas Tuegel

There are two test cases that are failing with 7.10, but fixing them will probably only require changes to the tests themselves. I'm looking into this right now.

It would be great if this regression [1] could be fixed. It is causing issues with packages with custom Setup.hs files on older GHC releases. It was fixed before, but broke again. Erik [1] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2409

If someone could let me know when all the needed patches are on the 1.22 branch (and if we need both a Cabal and cabal-install release), I will make the release and take it as an opportunity to validate the release process instructions.

I believe I have now fixed all the remaining issues on the 1.22 branch and we're ready for a new point release. Herbert, can you please update GHC 7.10 Cabal submodule reference to the tip of the 1.22 branch?
