I guess we need one last cabal release for 7.8? Are we ready for that now, or do you expect any more 7.8 change that will require cabal changes?

The RC1 has just started, and I'd rather wait a little more till we're closer to a final release... PS: We'll also need a 'cabal-install' release, as the current 1.18.0.2 doesn't build with GHC 7.8RC1 PS2: would it be possible to have https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/32dddcb1f0495a633ab806e0bcd43816cac6... picked up for 1.18 (assuming it applies cleanly)? It would make it easier to generate documentation tarballs for uploading to Hackage w/o needing to 'sed' away all 'file:///' prefixes.
