[Haskell] ANN: 16 updated packages: HDBC, ConfigFile, MissingH, and more

[John Goerzen]

Hi folks,

I've made new releases of a number of my packages.  Rather than flood
the list with individual announcements, I've consolidated them here.
Many of these packages have only GHC 6.8 compatibility updates, but a
fair number also have more significant changes.  Detailed changes
lists are below.

These packages have been updated:

anydbm
ConfigFile
darcs-buildpackage
dfsbuild
HDBC
HDBC-odbc
HDBC-postgresql
HDBC-sqlite3
hg-buildpackage
HSH
hslogger
LDAP
ListLike
magic
MissingH
srcinst

These have not yet been updated:

arch2darcs (no longer maintained)
gtkrsync   (pending newer GTK upload in Debian)
hpodder    (pending newer haxml upload in Debian)
missingpy  (pending available time)

All packages have been uploaded to:
