I was hoping that I could make use of this feature now:
$ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.7.5 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library
However, when I try to use it I get the following error:
So there's two bugs. One is that cabal-install doesn't know about this new stuff. Stephen Blackheath has a patch for this but it's not yet been reviewed and integrated. The other is that the feature currently fails with ghc-6.12 but we didn't notice in time to fix it before the release.
Is this feature supposed to work now, or has it been postponed?
It works with 6.10 if you're not using cabal-install. Both issues will be addressed in future releases in the new stable series. Duncan
