1. Etch comes with ghc-6.6, and that didn't work with my .cabal file.
Is it not an option to make your software work with the not-quite-latest compiler?
Yes it is, although I don't have the details either. Neither do I have an Etch system around, but I should probably install a virtual machine or something. Ideally, I should work out the minimal requirements (including for dependencies, and for dependencies' dependencies), but in practice, I end up depending on whatever is installed on the computer I use. Lazyness bites again. :-) Would it be an idea for hackage to have various "build hosts", automatically trying to compile things on less-than-current installs? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
