Readme

This is a naive adaption of cabal-install-ghc72 for ghc 7.4.1. Don't complain if it does not work for you.

The 'cabal' command-line program simplifies the process of managing Haskell software by automating the fetching, configuration, compilation and installation of Haskell libraries and programs.

cabal-install-0.10.2 does not build with the packages that come with ghc-7.4. This package is a copy of cabal-install-0.10.2 with dependency version changes made in the cabal file and the bootstrap.sh file to be compatible with ghc-7.4 packages. Thanks to beastaugh on github for describing these changes at https://gist.github.com/1169332. This package will be removed once a new version of cabal-install comes out that is compatible with the next version of ghc, 7.4.

Known bug: cabal sdist does not work with the version. You must build your own source package using tar czf.
