Latest cabal 1.22.6.0 fixes haskell/cabal#2502 , which is kind of a big deal on Windows. MinGHC 7.10.2 should use this version of cabal.

Kicking off a build now, I agree that that's important. @3noch do you want to do the release on this?

Sorry, should have clarified: I'm building cabal-install right now.

I'll give it a try.

Cool, let me know if you want some help. I've just pushed a new commit that bumps the cabal.exe inside cabal.7z, so it should just be a matter of rerunning the build.

Sweet!

I needed this when building cabal.exe for MinGHC (see:
fpco/minghc#69). I thought others might find
this useful, especially for the use case of bootstrapping cabal
development.

I went the direction of no curation and explicit packages in the
extra-deps, as I thought that would make more sense for a project low on
the dependency chain, but this could certainly be tweaked to use LTS
Haskell or Stackage Nightly instead.

@snoyberg I'm assuming this will work fine with all four GHC versions we support?

It should. If it doesn't, it's a serious regression in cabal-install (which is possible, but hopefully unlikely).
