[Haskell-cafe] upgrading Text.Printf

[Benjamin Franksen]

Hi,

I am using Text.Printf (package base, ghc-6.6.1) and am missing %X
formatting. Checking out the darcs repo of the base package I see that it
has already been added there. Is there any way to upgrade to the latest
version while keeping ghc-6.6.1? I keep hearing Bulat saying that this is
not possible, but I wanted to check anyway. Is there, perhaps, a separate
package that contains (a newer version of) Text.Printf?

Cheers
Ben
