Hi Jose,
Peter, would using parsec 3.x be an acceptable solution to you?
well, we can link xmobar with parsec 3.x on NixOS. The situation is tricky, though, because the latest version of parsec that we have, 3.1.2, doesn't compile with GHC 6.10.4 anymore, so we'd have to use some older version to work around that problem. That kind of setup somewhat complicated to maintain, which is why I would prefer to compile xmobar with parsec 2 2 if at all possible. Generally speaking, though, GHC 6.10.4 support is not a high priority. I just thought it might be worth pointing out that backwards compatibility has been lost in the 0.14 release, because earlier versions worked just fine. Take care, Peter
