ghc 7.0 upgrade questions

ghc 7.0 is now in testing, which is nice, but of course all Haskell libraries
will have to be rebuild. Are there plans to do so?

Right now I get:

% y -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
testing is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community-testing is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: haskell-mtl: requires ghc=6.12.3
:: haskell-utf8-string: requires ghc=6.12.3
:: haskell-x11: requires ghc=6.12.3
:: haskell-x11-xft: requires ghc=6.12.3

Re: ghc 7.0 upgrade questions

Oh, sorry about not mentioning about it elsewhere. I'll have to remember to do that the next time.

Yes, complete rebuilds will be done before the whole thing moves to extra & community. I'm hoping that we can get this in good order by the time the next haskell-platform gets released.
