Hi guys,

So we want to get these patches into Haddock/GHC before the 6.12.1 release. I'm unfamiliar with the current state, could someone summarise for us?

 - which patches are in Haddock upstream?

right now, the latest release doesn't have much of my work at all, and code.haskell.org HEAD has a version of the cross-package docs code that works mostly okay but doesn't get those docs quite right, and doesn't even build on 6.11!(though the fix is trivial) We need to get the rest of my patches reviewed and committed soon.

 - are all the issues ironed out now?  ie. do you think these
   patches are fit for us to incorporate?

It seems to work well with HEAD. We need David's opinion too though. (And I need to test that it's generating enough links, which I think it does with HEAD which is what is important, but it needs more investigation.)

 - which is the latest GHC patch that we need?

The ghc-patch that I sent you a couple days ago. It's a relatively simple patch; you should review it and tell me if I should amend it somehow.

Alternatively, if we wanted to integrate the Haddock work but not change GHC for this release, we could bump the lex/parse/rename version-checks in the Haddock patches to >= 613
