#8244: Removing the Cabal dependency -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: dcoutts Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: D172 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by refold): Very cool! Since these patches don't completely remove the dependency on Cabal from GHC, will it be at least possible to allow upgrading to new major Cabal versions in GHC point releases? It was annoying that the last few Haskell Platform releases had to ship with an old version of cabal- install because the Cabal version was fixed by GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8244#comment:24 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
