What's the status of Gtk2Hs with regard to Cabal? Is it correct that not one of the applications on Hackage, and there are some, uses or can use a GUI at this point in time?
Gtk2Hs still does not use Cabal as its build system. With the recent summer of code project on a dependency framework for Cabal we're now much closer to being able to convert Gtk2Hs to use Cabal. There are several packages on hackage that depend on gtk2hs or wxhaskell.
Secondly, has Gtk2Hs compatibility been tested with GHC 6.10? In the past there have sometimes been problems with new GHC releases and Gtk2Hs. These have always been addressed, but it usually took a few months..
I think I've seen some patches going past on the gtk2hs-devel list for ghc-6.10 compatibility. Duncan
