Compilation failure on ghc 7.7 (soon 7.8)

[schell]

Info.hs errors:

[ 2 of 10] Compiling Info             ( src/Info.hs, dist/build/hdevtools/hdevtools-tmp/Info.o )

src/Info.hs:130:59:
    Not in scope: data constructor ‛GHC.MatchGroup’
    Perhaps you meant ‛GHC.DocGroup’ (imported from GHC)

src/Info.hs:229:12:
    Not in scope:
      type constructor or class ‛PprTyThing.PrintExplicitForalls’

PprTyThing no longer exports PrintExplicitForalls. I've updated ghc-mod to comply if you'd like to take a look at that. DanielG/ghc-mod#161

This is still a problem, and GHC 7.8 is out now.

@Schnell's branch works great for me:

schell@fde2ae8

[bitc]

Yes, this should be fixed in #28 which I will try to find time to merge (and update hackage) in the next few days

[sethfowler]

@bitc Awesome. I look forward to the new release!

[CRogers]

Wooo, I also have this problem.

Any update on this?

[grsmv]

Same on 7.8.1 and 7.8.2

[tuttlem]

I've also got this problem on 7.8.2. Is there an update for this one coming?

@bitc it would be great to get this in and #30. Has development on this project stopped? Is everything okay?

[tashmore]

+1 on 7.8.3

[kvelicka]

+1 7.8.3

[CarstenKoenig]

+1 well the new haskell-plattform is out and won't compile this so maybe it's a good idea to finally fix this ;)

[Fuuzetsu]

Considering that the author had no activity since June, someone may want to step up and take over (possibly temporary) maintainership through the usual procedure on the mailing lists.

[schell]

@Fuuzetsu can you explain that process? If nobody else wants to I can maintain the project at my fork. Which mailing lists should I post to?

[Fuuzetsu]

Section 2. at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Taking_over_a_package explains it in few brief steps.

@Fuuzetsu 👍

It's useless to blindly spout +1, if you want to weigh in then go on the mailing lists.

@schell I saw @bitc commented on a couple of other hdevtools issues today. But I also saw that you uploaded a working version to hackage recently (thank you!). Any word from @bitc?

[schell]

@crockeea - sorry I only now saw your last message. I have not heard from @bitc since January 2014 :( But it does look like he was around commenting in Oct 2014. https://github.com/bitc?tab=activity
