[darcs-users] [patch147] Require Cabal 1.8, fix the build-deps du... (and 1 more)

[Eric Kow]

Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net> added the comment:

I've created http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/634 for the
cabal-install issue.  

I'd like to wait maybe one week (till 21 Feb) to see if the Cabal folks
can tell us if (A) this will be fixed by Darcs 2.5 (July 2010?) and (B)
if this will be fixed any sooner than that.

If we don't hear back from them by next week, we should make a decision
about how to move forward.  I've been polling the Review Team about this
(still need to ask/hear from Trent and Reinier).  If we don't reach a
consensus, I can make any one of these Iron Fist decisions to unblock
things.  It sounds like nobody is really that bothered either way, so
it'll really just be a very lightly plated fist.

(we may need a new 'blocked' patchstatus)
