I've had code break by changing -agc options to happy because it started importing Haskell98 modules and my package did not depend on the haskell98 package.
in that case, should we switch to importing the hierarchical names in Happy/Alex-generated code, since everyone uses those these days? I could make a patch to do that too.
I think so. Everyone always uses the base package but not necessarily the haskell98 package. (nhc98 hackers may disagree however)
I wonder if the change I originally proposed should go through the library submission process, which I'm not familiar enough with... http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions , okay, probably yes?
I'm not sure that's necessary. If there is general agreement and the maintainer accepts the patches that would seem to be sufficient.
for alex, I can't figure out how to run the tests, as the Makefile in alex/tests/ doesn't work (after all it was cabalized?).
Also the darcs alex/alex.cabal says version: 2.1.0, whereas http://haskell.org/alex/ says the latest released version is 2.2 (not even 2.2.0, and maybe we would say 2.2.0.0 these days!)
