Ah, cool!

Then I guess the easiest would be if Herbert would add that to his PPA.

Hmm, it would be nice if cabal had a “best effort” mode where when some
of the requested packages cannot be built it at least builds the rest.

Also, isn’t there a new flag to cabal to selectively ignore upper
bounds? (I can’t find the documentation for the latest cabal-install
online right now.)

Greetings,
Joachim
