I suppose I should have done this back when I prepared these same changes for
HEAD.
This a a fresh patch - I haven't tried to apply the patch on HEAD to this
branch.
There's no rush as I don't think syb-with-class has a new release yet.
If HEAD is going to be released soon there might not be much point
in applying these changes, but since I have them I thought others
might be interested.

I will update that email address tomorrow. I'll have to think about
applying the patch. We are still a few weeks from a new stable
release, so it would be nice if people using GHC 7 did not have a bad
experience. But applying this patch will probably cause some merge
conflicts when we do make a stable release.
At this point in time, new Happstack users really ought to be using
head anyway because it is better than the old stable release and is
what is documented by the crash course. I could just update the web
page to say that, but I suspect some portion of people will just cabal
install happstack with out reading the web site. So they will be in
the dark.So, it's probably best to apply the patch, and deal with the
merge issues later.

Is there a way I could have done the patch to not have merge issues?
When I tried to do a 'darcs pull' from head to stable, darcs didn't
seem to respond in a reasonable time-frame.
Has anyone done this sort of thing before?
Also, I suppose you could just cut a new branch from head for the next
stable. I think that's what GHC does to manage its stable release. It
is likely too late to do it for the next stable release, but maybe the
one after.
Thanks,
Antoine

I was actually able to cherry pick the patch from darcs back to the
stable branch. Go darcs! So, you should be able to unpull the new
patch you made for stable, do a pull from patch-tag, and be good to
go!
I'll have to think about how to manage the devel / stable branches so
more. But I'll wait until I am closer to cutting the next release for
that.
I fixed the darcs send address for happstack-stable. Thanks for the
report! And the patch!
