ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.8.4

Wed Dec 24 16:40:55 UTC 2014

The installation succeedeed and GHC is working correctly.
But yes, "cabal haddock" seems to have some difficulty in the new version,
but I can't judge if it's my sandboxed environment (we use "hub" at work)
or the failure you mentioned.

Calling "haddock" alone works (using the previously installed on my
system), "cabal haddock" does not:

☁  mandrill [master] ⚡ haddock src/Network/API/Mandrill.hs
Haddock coverage:
Warning: main:Network.API.Mandrill: Could not find documentation for
exported module: M
Warning: Couldn't find .haddock for export Control.Monad.IO.Class.liftIO
 88% (  7 /  8) in 'Network.API.Mandrill'
Warning: Network.API.Mandrill: could not find link destinations for:
   Control.Monad.IO.Class.MonadIO
Network.API.Mandrill.Types.MandrillMessage
Network.API.Mandrill.Trans.MandrillT
Network.API.Mandrill.Types.MandrillResponse
Network.API.Mandrill.Messages.Types.MessagesResponse
Text.Email.Parser.EmailAddress Data.Text.Internal.Text Text.Blaze.Html.Html
GHC.Types.IO

☁  mandrill [master] ⚡ cabal haddock
cabal-1.20.0.0: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of
Cabal being used has changed (was Cabal-1.18.1.5, now Cabal-1.20.0.0).
cabal haddock: /usr/hs/tools/cabal-1.20.0.0 failure (return code=1)

had to remove a haddock binary from ~/.cabal/bin before haddocks were
building correctly for me)
