Thanks for starting on this Simon!
One item I see on the list looks related to the build failure I'm
getting on FreeBSD 8.1 is this:
"bumped network and HTTP dependency upper version bounds"
My build failure with 6.10.4 was this:
"src/HTTP.hs:11:42:
Module `Network.Browser' does not export `setCheckForProxy"
I looked into this further. The setCheckForProxy change seems to have
appeared in version 4000.0.8.
Darcs appears to correctly reflect this in setup.cabal:
HTTP >= 4000.0.8 && < 4000.2
In my ".cabal" directory, I see that 4000.0.4 has been downloaded,
unpacked and built. Yet, darcs/cabal didn't throw an error that that the
dependency was too low, and Cabal appears to have downloaded of
the HTTP library that is too old.
I'm using:
cabal-install version 0.6.4
using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library
This is starting to look more like a Cabal bug than a darcs issue. What
do you think?
And there's one more thing I saw in the Changes file:
> Thanks to Summersault for their generous donation!
That was my initiative. :) Thanks for the recognition.
