{-# LANGUAGE XYZ #-} pragmas? If so, I'm pretty sure they're supported, since xmonad uses them, and is on hackage.

Language pragmas in general are fine, but I believe I'm using a few that are new to Cabal 1.2.3.0, which isn't being used to power Hackage yet. Or thus quoth Duncan.

Ah yes, good point!

There are some that can't be placed in the .cabal file -- though they can go in the .hs file (with -fglasgow-exts in the .cabal as needed).

Yes, this is what got fixed in Cabal-1.2.3.0 which comes with GHC-6.8.2 and is available on hackage for users of other GHC versions and other haskell implementations. Duncan

It should be able to now.

Thanks very much Ross. BTW, I think we should put some HackageDB hacking and admin instructions on the hackage wiki so we don't have to pester you so much for this kind of routine admin stuff. Duncan
