I see dataenc is in the list below, which I found a bit surprising since it does indeed build fine with the split up base package.&nbsp; However, when I hacked its cabal file I thought it made more sense to use a flag called large_base which defaults to false, rather than a flag called small-base which defaults to true.&nbsp; If the consensus is to use small-base I&#39;ll be happy to change it.<br>

Just did a full run over hackage, building packages with ghc 6.8.2,<br>
bytestring <a href="http://0.9.0.1" target="_blank">0.9.0.1</a> and cabal <a href="http://1.4.1." target="_blank">1.4.1.</a>.<br>
<br>
Several hundred packages built fine.<br>
The majority are relatively easy to fix, if the upstream authors<br>
can be contacted.<br>

The following could be marked broken, if we could do that.<br>
