I'm working on the packaging of Ghc for Arch Linux and the packaging of Ghc 7.8 was in place about a week ago. It was delivered with `Cabal` 1.18, and already now there's a 1.20 available, which is required by the latest version of `cabal-install` :(
Ghc 7.8 comes with quite a few other basic libraries. Are there any dependencies between these libraries besides the obvious one on `base`?
In other words, can I update Cabal without running into the diamond-dependency problem?
The only time I've had a problem with Exherbo packages is that some of them (e.g. haskell-docs) require using the version of Cabal shipped with GHC (I think it was to have consistency with the version of Cabal that Haddock was built with); as long as the Arch packages can specify "use GHC's Cabal" for the few cases which it's necessary then you shouldn't have a problem. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
