Hello, I've tried the new ghc-7.8.1 and have had an issue with building pcre-light as one of dependencies for my project. I've made a patch which fixes this, but I can't reach maintainer by e-mail -- what can I do in this situation? Also, the second (unrelated) question would be: how can I find a package which depends on it in my project? I have found no way to dump a dependency tree in cabal. Thanks in advance, Nikolay.

There is no problem with the version of GHC installed. Library pcre-light is importing unsafePerformIO from Foreign, module that doesn't export this function since version 4.7.0.0 of the base package. That causes the build to fail for users of base-4.7.0.0. Importing this function from System.IO.Unsafe solves the problem. I have written to the maintainer as well, but did not received any answer yet. Regards, Daniel Díaz. On Sun, Apr 13, 2014 at 3:21 AM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:

Please update as necessary. I am unable to maintain this package now. On Sunday, 13 April 2014, Daniel Díaz Casanueva wrote:

If given permission, I can submit a new version with the problem fixed. However, this does not mean I would like to become the maintainer. But, yeah, I would like to see a working version uploaded. On Sun, Apr 13, 2014 at 2:11 PM, Don Stewart wrote:

I have uploaded the new version [1], where I am listed as maintainer of the library. I will make sure the package keeps building over time. However, I don't think I am going to put much effort into adding new features or do any modifications to the API. I will probably keep it as it is, just making sure it builds with each new GHC release. If anybody is interested in working in this package further, feel free to fork the GitHub repository [2] where the current code is living and, if desired, ask me to become the new maintainer. Best regards, Daniel Díaz. [1] - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pcre-light-0.4.0.1 [2] - https://github.com/Daniel-Diaz/pcre-light On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:48 AM, Erik Hesselink wrote:
