Hi Ducan,

Is there any reason why the tests (directory c2hs/tests) and the
documentation (directory doc) are removed from the tarball in this
release?
I would like to have the documentation added again to the tarball for
the Debian packages. (The Debian policy requires a manpage for each
binary, such as c2hs, which was in the doc directory.)

Greetings Arjan Oosting

I didn't deliberately remove them as such, I used cabal's sdist this
time and we've not added the other files to the extra-source-files field
in the c2hs.cabal file.

Right 'o, I'll add these for the next minor release. I'll give it a few
days and see if anything else turns up too.

Subject: [C2hs] Subject: Problem configuring c2hs with Cabal-1.2
Message-ID: <6d74b0d20709131517k73a792e8p714c06c86748a376@mail.gmail.com>

I just downloaded c2hs (HEAD version) and tried to run "runhaskell
Setup.hs configure" using the ghc 6.8 release candidate (i.e., Cabal
1.2), and got the following error:

> Configuring c2hs-0.15.0...
> Setup.hs: Error: Non-empty library, but empty exposed modules list. Cabal may not build this library correctly

The .cabal file is parseable by ghc-6.6.1 (with Cabal 1.1.6.2).  It's
unclear to me whether this counts as a c2hs bug or a Cabal bug (maybe
the above message should only be a warning?), so I'm cc'ing both
lists.

Also note that regardless, c2hs will need to be updated to work with
base-2.0; when I tried ghc-6.8 with Cabal-1.1.6, I got the following
error:

> base/state/CIO.hs:71:7:
>     Could not find module `System.Cmd':
>       it is a member of package process-1.0, which is hidden
