Bug 688499

Note this package needs Cabal >= 1.10 to build,
ie this package will only be for F15 and later.

It will not build with standard ghc-6.12.x installs
(unless you cabal install Cabal).

Spec: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/cabal-dev/cabal-dev.spec
SRPM: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/cabal-dev/cabal-dev-0.7.4.1-2.fc14.src.rpm

Here is one that actually builds and seems to work...

I'd like to ask bos if he is still using this package.
I have only tried lightly a few times but I am not fully convinced yet
if this is really the optimal approach to avoiding cabal breakage.
It may be more useful for developers than packagers though say.
So there may well be a legitimate use-case for it.

Yep, I use it every day.

Cool.  I refreshed the spec file:

New upstream release (untested).

I had to disable dynamic linking since ghc doesn't seem
to like building dynamically linked binaries with Template Haskell.

Here's one that actually builds in mock (added missing template-haskell dep).

The pacakge ships 00-index.tar. Any idea why this is  being shipped?

APPROVED.

Thank you for reviewing! :)

Ah, I forget my clever comment 1 (no f14).

cabal-dev-0.8-2.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository.

cabal-dev-0.8-2.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.
