Given that GHC 6.8 is just around the corner and, given how it has re-organised the libraries so that the dependencies in many (most/all) the packages in the hackage DB are now not correct.
Is there a plan of how to get hackage DB up to speed with GHC 6.8 ?
Ian, GHC HQ, can you elaborate on what the plan is on fixing the hackage libraries for ghc 6.8 -- should everyone be springing into action to update .cabal files and fix api changes?
I'm a bit confused about the version numbering for the boot libraries. The versions bundled with various versions of GHC are: ghc-6.6: base-2.0 template-haskell-2.0 unix-1.0 ghc-6.6.1: base-2.1.1 template-haskell-2.1 unix-2.1 ghc-6.8 RC: base-2.1 template-haskell-0.1 unix-2.0 What versions are planned for the release?
