[CC’ing some seemingly hugs-related or -interested people] Hi, since a while now, it is known that the current Cabal version fails to build Hugs packages[0]. Nobody tried to fix it (or at least nobody promised to do so). This is holding up the whole transition, as packages high in the dependency tree like utf8-string and binary can not be build. Also, upstream was quiet about this and obviously don’t test Cabal with hugs themselves. This is not a viable situation. This is a last call for Hugs-caring people who are willing to maintain the hugs package support in haskell-devscripts (including Cabal etc.) If no one is interested in doing that, I think we will have to stop building Hugs packages from non-bundled libraries. Note that Hugs is still useful as it bundles a lot of libraries. And given that Hugs is mostly used in educational settings, this should be ok(?).
