Description

The syb package on Hackage (0.1.0.1) has -package-name syb, which was needed for 6.10 but breaks with 6.12. The version in darcs lacks the flag, which works for 6.12 but will break with 6.10. We need to upload a version of syb that works with both 6.10 and 6.12 to Hackage before the 6.12.1 release.

Pedro, as the maintainer of syb, will you have a chance to fix this soon? (Also, BTW, the package doesn't currently list you as the maintainer, perhaps you could update that at the same time).

GHC 6.12 comes with its own syb-0.1.0.2. GHC 6.14 will not come with syb, but by then there will be a version on Hackage lacking the flag.
