[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#654628: Bug#654628: haskell-cmdargs: FTBFS on many arches: Template Haskell bracket illegal in a stage-1 compiler

[Clint Adams]

Hi Neil,

It looks like cmdargs started using TH between 0.8 and 0.9, but does
not express the appropriate dependency.  Could you please adjust
the .cabal file?

DHG: should we introduce a cmdargs0.8 package for the non-TH arches?
I think we're also going to have the same problem with aeson soon.

Konstantinos: are you interested in getting TH and GHCi to work on
armhf?
