Hi, stabilization request for the window manager xmonad. x11-wm/xmonad-0.8 dev-haskell/x11-1.4.2 Both has been in portage and bug free for 10 months or more. Thanks!

[8 of 8] Compiling XMonad ( XMonad.hs, dist/build/XMonad.o ) XMonad.hs:47:7: Could not find module `Control.Monad.Reader': Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package mtl-1.1.0.0? Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. This happens with USE=profile only
Christian, yes, this will happen if you compile xmonad with USE=profile, but have not USE=profile when you compiled mtl. I guess we could move to EAPI=2 to make this clear. dev-haskell/mtl[profile?] Very few people compile with USE=profile so in practise it hasn't been a very big ussue.
Emerging packages USE="-profile" and packages that depend on it with USE="profile" has always given the message you got. We do have a plan to move to use dependencies, but that's a bit down the road. We need to work on our tools that generate the ebuilds, and then update the 60+ packages with the ~200 ebuilds. Would it be possible to overlook this particular issue until we've got it fixed for all haskell packages? Otherwise close to nothing could be stabilized until then. What do you guys think?
x86 stable
sparc will pass, its not stable
HPPA is pulling out.
