Bug#422170: hugs: Text.Regex gone!
Package: hugs Version: 98.200609.21-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable This breaks compatibility with a ton of packages. I have tried to find this in some package, but can't.

As noted on the Hugs download page, this module was removed from the underlying base Haskell library package and replaced with non-portable regex-* packages. The only way forward is for the regex-* packages to be made portable and packaged separately. I think you've set the severity of this bug too high: "renders package unusable" is just not true. I would say it "has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone", i.e. important. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, I've got several Serious bugs that I can't resolve because of this. I guess I will have to drop Hugs support for the relevant packages until this is fixed. Not a very pleasant solution. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
