Great work, thanks! I'll take a look at the package failures to see if there's anything I can do, though might be beyond my limited Haskell knowledge.

As for the --allow-newer/older, I don't have enough experience to know if that will cause any problems. I know you frequently see it to work around some dependency versions (e.g. cabal files not updated, not a problem in actual build done), but of course better to have the dependencies properly specified and available. But if it generally makes more things work with less work, I'm for it. We could disable it where needed, but since we sort of pin versions with Stackage we'd only have to check on updates, right?

Anyway, great work, looking forward to adding some more Haskell packages with the new Stackage.

John
