There's currently an issue with Alex happy when they're built with clang cpp rather Than GCC cpp which some folks are trying to hammer out I think. I think it's a problem in Alex 3.1.2 but not 3.1.0. Either way: assuming that bug gets sorted out, making sure Haskell platform has a fresher Alex / happy so that Haskell platform can be used to build ghc 7.8 would be a nice thing to have.

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. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

I'm probably missing something here, but is `containers` not part of HP? On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 8:55 PM, Mark Lentczner wrote:
