Re: Build failures in packages built with GHC 6.6

Over the weekend Lennart Kolmodin tested all of Gentoo's Haskell packages with the latest GHC 6.6 RC snapshot. Here is his report of what failed, and how:

Thanks for the useful heads-up - a very valuable service. To fix HaXml to work with ghc-6.6, I have pushed two new versions: 1.17 is the development branch, and 1.13.2 is the stable branch. 1.13.2: http://www.haskell.org/HaXml 1.17: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml-devel Hopefully this will enable some other packages to build now as well. I note hmake's failure, and have pushed a possible fix to the darcs repo, but will not make a release until I have tested it more thoroughly. Regards, Malcolm
