cabal-install-ghc72

Temporary version of cabal-install for ghc-7.2

http://www.haskell.org/cabal/

Latest on Hackage:0.10.4

This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

The 'cabal' command-line program simplifies the process of managing Haskell software by automating the fetching, configuration, compilation and installation of Haskell libraries and programs.

cabal-install-0.10.2 does not build with the packages that come with ghc-7.2. This package is a copy of cabal-install-0.10.2 with dependency version changes made in the cabal file and the bootstrap.sh file to be compatible with ghc-7.2 packages. Thanks to beastaugh on github for describing these changes at https://gist.github.com/1169332. This package will be removed once a new version of cabal-install comes out that is compatible with the next version of ghc, 7.4.

Known bug: cabal sdist does not work with the version. You must build your own source package using tar czf.
