I pushed a release update to patch 3.2.0.0 for ghc-8.8 and 8.10. It builds on my ghc-8.10 machine now.

@xuanruiqi: Hm, I couldn't reproduce that earlier, but I do get that same error now. It looks like the bootstrap script hardcodes HTTP_VER="4000.3.12". I'll try manually updating that and maybe patching the script...

Now that arch has ghc 8.10 we also have a problem that cabal-install has upper bound of base <4.14. Looks like there might be some patches needed for that too.

@nshepperd: would you mind checking and confirming that this package indeed builds properly? I'm still having the same bug with HTTP, even when building in a clean chroot.

I still get the same bug with HTTP. Seems it somehow just wants me to install HTTP-4000.3.12.

Updated to 3.2.0.0 which should be compatible with ghc-8.8.

I tried installing in a clean chroot. But according to https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6327, it looks like cabal 3.0.0.0 is currently incompatible with the latest ghc (8.8.3) and requires an older version like 8.6.5.

Pushed EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS="" as per @watashi, plus some build() code to detect environment file and optionally rename it.

@nnolte: You're using ghc-8.6.5? Do you have a file at $HOME/.ghc/x86_64-linux-8.6.5/environments/default? I've discovered that ghc reads this environment file which overrides the sandbox and completely messes up the build. Unable to find a way around this so far, apart from temporarily renaming the file.

cabal-static fails to build for me, even when reinstalling all dependencies with a cleared cache (ghc, ghc-static, ghc-libs)

I think we should use EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS="" ./bootstrap.sh --sandbox instead of ./bootstrap.sh --sandbox to build cabal, there is no need to build profiling lib, this can save some building time.
