Since I've now added all the packages you list above, except for pandoc, I'll make the push of GHC 7.6 on Wednesday. I plan to move [haskell] to [haskell-old] and [haskell-testing] to [haskell]. I'll keep [haskell-old] around on kiwilight for a week or so, unless I get requests for keeping it longer. Now is the time to raise any objections and convince me to hold off further :-) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
