We could create a branch for 7.8, but I don't know which commit to branch of. If someone can figure out which cabal 7.8 shipped with we can add the branch. On Sat, Jun 28, 2014 at 7:48 AM, Manuel M T Chakravarty < chak@cse.unsw.edu.au> wrote:
I noticed that the Cabal package doesn’t have a branch for ghc-7.8:
http://git.haskell.org/packages/Cabal.git
Is that intended? Maybe as a result the instructions at
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources
to check out a branch from the *GitHub mirror repos* doesn’t work either. It fails with
== running git submodule update Cloning into 'libraries/Cabal'... fatal: remote error: ghc/packages/Cabal is not a valid repository name Email support@github.com for help Clone of 'git@github.com:ghc/packages/Cabal.git' into submodule path 'libraries/Cabal' failed git failed: 256 at ./sync-all line 122.
