[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Bugfixes for regex-posix and regex-pcre ByteString use

[Thomas Hartman]

1)  Chris was correct, I wasn't pulling from unstable, but stable. My bad.

thartman at linodewhyou:~/haskellInstalls/regex-pcre$ darcs pull
Pulling from "http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/regex-pcre"...
No remote changes to pull in!

2) When I did as brandon suggested, it seems to have built ok.

thartman at linodewhyou:~/haskellInstalls/regex-pcre$ darcs whatsnew
{
hunk ./regex-pcre.cabal 22
-Build-Depends:          regex-base, base, fps >= 0.7
+Build-Depends:          regex-base, base
}

So, maybe this should be merged into the trunk.
