Change description of old-locale to NOT say its deprecated

[dterei]

Would everyone be OK if I changed the description of 'old-locale' package to NOT say its deprecated?

This package provides the old locale library. For new code, the new locale library is recommended. [1]

As far as I know, no new-locale package exists or is in the process of existing. This description is very confusing give old-locale is the current locale package to use. e.g se this stack overflow question [2].

Sounds fine to me.

Fixed in 9f4b00d4ef5b37adffa01742a09b6f9ad2df1a09.

I also pulled in the version bump (1.0.0.3 -> 1.0.0.4) from the 7.4 branch. I believe that is the correct thing to do but if not please revert igloo.

What happened to this? At the moment Trac claims the 9f4b00d commit doesn't exist and Hackage still claims that old-locale is deprecated as of 1.0.0.4. It seems something went awry here.

Don't worry, it's fixed.

1) It's fixed in old-locale 1.0.0.5. If you read what I wrote, I said I pulled in a version bump form the ghc-7.4 branch. So the patch was submitted after 1.0.0.4 was released. GHC 7.6 will be out very shortly with old-locale 1.0.0.5.

2) Trac (this old version anyway) can't track more than one git repo. So we obviously have it tracking the GHC repo, not the old-locale repo. Hence you have to look at github to see the commit:  https://github.com/ghc/packages-old-locale/commit/9f4b00d4ef5b37adffa01742a09b6f9ad2df1a09, which is a much nicer experience anyway.
