Hi, 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? -- Johan

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.

I will make one as soon as the last Cabal release is out. Please let me know when you're ready for that. PS2: would it be possible to have
