The current dilemma we're facing with the 6.12.1 release is this: cabal-install still needs to be ported to the new version of Cabal, Duncan is snowed under and doesn't have time to work on it, but without cabal-install people can't easily test 6.12.1 RC and we can't test it with Hackage. We've come to rely on cabal-install quite a lot.

Agreed. I've actually now got cabal-install building successfully locally on ghc 6.12 rc1, but it dies with "cabal: Prelude.undefined". I'm attempting to debug this now. So hopefully it shouldn't be too long before I/we get it working. -- Robin
