Here is the current status of the 2013.4.0.0 proposal.

[...]

Cabal: Cabal: 1.16.0 → 1.18.1.2 consensus seems to be that this will be okay

Will it be fine to include both versions of Cabal with the installer (to avoid building GHC myself)? The installer can run `ghc-pkg hide Cabal-1.16` as the final step, so the user will never even see the extra copy of Cabal.

Is this necessary? For me at least, "ghc-pkg list" still shows non-exposed packages (but shades them blue in the output list; I've also had them appear in braces before IIRC). Using ghci or just ghc with Cabal modules will default to the highest version unless specified otherwise. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
