Just did a full run over hackage, building packages with ghc 6.8.2, bytestring 0.9.0.1 and cabal 1.4.1..
Several hundred packages built fine. The majority are relatively easy to fix, if the upstream authors can be contacted.
The following could be marked broken, if we could do that.
I tried building a few of these packages, and my results mostly agree.
dataenc
dataenc 0.11 works for me.
hslogger
hslogger 1.0.5 works for me (in fact all of the versions on hackage seem to support split base).
special-functors (needs base<2 !)
This is explicitly marked as a compatibility package for old GHC versions -- base<2 is intentional.
Monadius -- missing: extra-libraries: glut shu-thing -- missing: extra-libraries: glut
Both of these build and run here. I don't understand why they should have "extra-libraries: glut", don't the extra-libraries belong in the GLUT package instead?
storablevector -- QC arbitrary missing Control.Monad.Instances
Builds fine here. However, the tests should not build for a Hackage release, I'll look into this. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
