[ Not the correct mailing list, but cvs-all bounced my previous mail ]
FYI: I've just hacked the Setup scripts for Alex/Happy/Haddock to death so
these tools can now be built with a bleeding-edge GHC. But: I've done this in
a quick and dirty way which will *definitely* break things for everything
else (older GHCs, Hugs, etc.), some Cabal gurus should definitely improve
this.
To the Cabal people: Please don't forget to update those scripts and .cabal
files when the Cabal API/syntax changes once again.
Apart from that, of course I had to update the package dependencies, tracking
the recent changes caused by the "Big Base Breakage" (tm)... :-P Again:
Please fix the tools when the libs change.
And a final request (once again): *Never* check in DocBook stuff without
building the docs first and/or doing a "make validate". It's not that
complicated, and even XEmacs can tell you immediately when things don't
validate...
Cheers,
S.
