[Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform for GHC 6.12.1?

[Thomas Schilling]

GHC 6.12 changed the format of the internal package database.  Only
cabal-install 0.8 can read this format properly.  Version 0.8 is only
available on Hackage, the binaries available are cabal-install 0.6.2.
I assume part of the platform release effort is to create new
cabal-install binaries.
