Thinking on it more - surely there is enough information from the failed compilations to suggest changes to the cabal files? Feed them back to the developers? My thoughts go this way - people like creating, that's why hackage is beginning to grow. They don't tend to like the packaging issues - the

Ah, this begins to answer my question: there isn't really a plan I would have thought that he first step is to be able to distinguish which of the hackage packages "compile" under 6.8 - some annotation to the hackage DB? Secondly, is there a dependency graph of the stuff on hackage anywhere?

[Haskell-cafe] Hackage and GHC 6.8

2007-09-07 Thread Neil Davies
Given that GHC 6.8 is just around the corner and, given how it has re-organised the libraries so that the dependencies in many (most/all) the packages in the hackage DB are now not correct. Is there a plan of how to get hackage DB up to speed with GHC 6.8 ? Cheers Neil __
