If we want a bugfix version of Cabal in with GHC 8.0.2 this is our last
chance.

Subject: GHC 8.0.2 status

Hello GHCers,

Thanks to the work of darchon the last blocker for the 8.0.2 release
(#12479) has nearly been resolved. After the fix has been merged I'll be
doing some further testing of the ghc-8.0 branch and cut a source
tarball for 8.0.2-rc1 later this week.

If you intend on offering a binary release for 8.0.2 it would be great
if you could plan on testing the tarball promptly so we can cut 8.0.2
and move on to planning for 8.2.1.

Thanks for your help and patience!

Cheers,

- Ben

I'll try to fix the backwards compat issue with
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/3955 ASAP so that we can get
1.24.1.0 out of the door.

Subject: Is it possible to link a haskell library directly with an external
 static C library(.a)?
Message-ID: <CAL0=0H14VWp24hK-n2UeWOnfcRfMoxs0cA3Cqg0PMEThaVXX0A@mail.gmail.com>

It seems that it is not possible to do so at this moment.

https://github.com/jakubfijalkowski/hlibsass#static-shared-or-external-version-of-libsass
explains the problem with not being able to do so.

Is there a plan to make cabal link a haskell library directly with an
external static C library?
