ghc and the hs-packages now simply include the necessary (haskell)
package description files in lib/ghc/package.conf.d and update the
package.cache by running ghc-pkg recache at the end. register and
unregister scripts are no longer needed.
dependencies have been update "online" (i.e. on hackage.haskell.org)
without releaseing a new version of the package. If this sounds
confusing, just compare the .cabal files contained in the distfiles
with the .cabal file you get from hackage.haskell.org.
stop other people wasting time on updates which should not be done.
ian@ ran into this (while working on devel/hs-aeson and
textproc/hs-attoparsec), and even I didn't notice before trying to
build all Haskell ports (including meta/haskell-platform) with his
diffs.
and the line with the unregister.sh script down to the bottom of
the plist. Silences all the blurb about ".../*.haddock doesn't exist
or isn't a file."
This is a requirement for an update of hs-snap I'm working on.
While here, add myself as maintainer (in addition to jim@, who is
too busy with private stuff for now).
There's a newer version available, but 0.7.1 is much less intrusive
to other depending ports (i.e. it doesn't break anything).
"go for it" jim@ (for co-maintaining and working on snap and related ports)
