[web-devel] Beta version of Yesod 0.7

[Greg Weber]

Have you tried using cabal-dev for this? This seems like a good usage for
it- getting things back to normal would mean just blowing away the project
local cabal directory. Or does cabal-dev not work with wai-devel-handler?

> If you want to start playing with Yesod 0.7, all you need to do is:
>
> 1) Modify your ~/.cabal/config file to include: remote-repo:
> yesodyackage:http://yackage.yesodweb.com/
> 2) cabal update
> 3) cabal install yesod-0.7.0
>
> That should do it! A few caveats:
>
> * There are likely still bugs, as this is not finished software
> * With yesod 0.7, we are splitting things into many more packages. Not
> all of these packages are automatically installed yet (eg,
> yesod-static), even though previous versions of Yesod included this
> functionality.
> * If you install in this manner, cabal will *not* know to replace
> these packages with the final packages released to Hackage ultimately.
> At that point in time, you can:
>
> 1) manually unregister all packages installed from Yackage
> 2) manually "cabal install --reinstall" all packages installed from Yackage
> 3) wipe our your ~/.ghc folder and start from scratch
