[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#666359: cabal-install

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear Cabal developers,

I just noticed debian bug #666359: The current cabal-install in Debian
(0.10.2) cannot be build at the moment and we should upgrade to a
version compatible with the Cabal shipped with GHC 7.4.1, i.e. 0.14 (?).
For some reason, no cabal-install-0.14 has been uploaded to Hackage.

Is there a reason for that? What is the official release of
cabal-install compatible with GHC 7.4.1 – the one shipped in the GHC
source tree, or the one living in
http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-branches/cabal-1.14/cabal-install, or
some other?

I’d be grateful for some clarification, and possible an upload to
hackage of the cabal-install version you want Debian users to use.

Thanks,
Joachim
